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 supplies I am asking for will help make my student's home away from home more organized and supportive of their learning environment. The mailboxes will be used for their FUNdations storage so they aren't losing pieces or shoving them into their space. The doorbell will allow us to have smoother transitions during class time and help maintain classroom management. The crayons will allow the students to express themselves better in their work. And the dry-erase board will allow me to display work during small groups in Math and ELA, which will better support my English-Language-Learners.

The donations to this project will benefit my students in many ways to allow for a smoother and more organized year.

With your help, my students will be able to focus better on their academics, rather than worrying about the space they have available for resources during learning time.
