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

The use of whiteboards, pencils, paper, and seat sacks being asked for is almost a daily activity or need in my classroom. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. Pencil and Paper allow students to complete their work on as well as use as scratch paper when and where needed for assessment days. Lastly I have asked for seat sacks for my students as they will be using in their day to day routine the classroom as this is a start of a new school year. These seat sacks will allow students to have a place for their materials to allow for successful learning!

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether they have the materials or not.
