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

Hi, I would love it if you could donate for my classroom because I think it is very important to have a classroom that is not only beautiful but also very functional for the students, where they feel comfortable and at ease being their first grade in school away from home, I know that a fun and padded carpet would help a lot for the separation. This is my second year as a kindergarten teacher and my students deserve a nice place to sit while they take their Spanish lessons and this will keep them more attentive and comfortable practicing their vocabulary.
