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

Hello! I am I first year teacher! I am currently teaching 4th grade and I was put in a classroom that was used as storage! I would love to build my classroom!

I would especially love to build my library!

Book sets of books that I know my students would love and sports equipment that my students would appreciate and have fun with!

Additionally, some supplies in order to keep myself and my students healthy like wiped and sprays to help minimize us getting sick during this cold and flu season!
