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

A new school year brings new opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive, but success starts with having the right tools. My classroom is always full of bright, curious students ready to explore, but we need some basic supplies and organizational materials to help us start strong and stay focused.

This project will provide essential items like crayons, pencil grips, and chair bands to support our day-to-day learning.

We’re also in need of organizational containers to keep materials neat and accessible, which is especially helpful for young learners building independence and responsibility.

To keep our classroom safe and to support my students’ needs, I’m also requesting items like Band-Aids, reusable water bottles, chair bands, and treasure box items. Chair bands will support students who need to move while staying seated, and a treasure box will add motivation and fun to our positive behavior system.

With your help, we can build a classroom that’s calm, organized, and well-stocked with the basics we need to be successful from day one.
