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 majority of my students are at risk students, and low income. It would be great to receive these items to help organize our classroom. Right now, our calculators are stored in a cardboard box, our folders are piled on a bookshelf and I would like different colored dry erase markers to underline or emphasize different parts of the notes when writing on the board. The same with the fine tip markers. Those will be used to emphasize certain points in our composition books when taking notes. Thank you for your future donations!
