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

I have been a teacher for over 27 years. Throughout this journey, I have seen the world of education change greatly. One thing, though, always remains the same: Kids need the proper tools to be successful in third grade.

My third-graders need basic school materials like folders, privacy screens, and Kleenex to help them stay organized and focused.

Each student will need their materials to help them learn and explore content in my flexible classroom. These materials are vital to our success this school year. My students need folders by subject to keep their materials and schoolwork organized and easily accessible. They will also need privacy screens to help them stay focused. My classroom also needs Kleenex to keep us healthy and germ-free. Please donate to my classroom to help the kids stay organized and focused.
