Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We're halfway through the school year and we have learned so much already. Unfortunately we're running out of basic essentials needed for learning and engagement. My students love using their dry-erase boards during whole group instruction. It's engaging and fun. We're running out of dry-erase markers to use with our dry-erase boards. Having new dry-erase markers will help my students continue to have fun and be engaged while still learning! We also need writing tools such as erasers, pencil grips, hi-lighters, and sharpies. The 3-D sound flash cards will help my students reinforce their letter sound recognition during intervention. With your generous donations I will be able to help and make sure my students thrive in their learning environment!
