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

This project will support my classroom as we begin the 2024-2025 school year. My classroom currently does not have anywhere to hang backpacks or jackets. I want to install backpack/coat hooks to help keep the classroom tidy. I also need to replenish the birthday trinkets, and provide students with a back to school gift to get them excited about starting 3rd grade. 3rd graders love a special pencil, Pop-It, and all little trinkets to help them feel special.!

Help me give my students a fantastic 3rd grade school year!

Thank you for your generous support!

Mrs. Ochoa
Grades 3-5
