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

My middle school students love to learn so much that they often wear out many of their favorite learning resources!

To quote Bugs Bunny from the movie Space Jam, "We need your help!"

Our break and sensory area need exercise mats to cushion the floor because the mats we have are in desperate need of replacement. The two computer mouses will replace two mouses that have taken several trips to the floor and malfunction frequently. The file folder learning games will replace several task folders that have missing parts or are torn from so much use that our students give them every day. Lastly, the sensory mats and pads will enhance and hopefully help satiate my students' special needs.
