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

These items will help our children feel welcome and comfortable when they enter class. Right now the class is limited on material and very dull. We need practically everything. My students see other classes colorful and with furniture such as the big pillows in a calming area etc and the rug will add a calming touch to the calming area as well. We will appreciate your donation to help spruce up our class. My goal is to have a classroom that displays that our students are learning in an environment they feel nice in. The caddy with help my students organize their materials on their desk. The storage bins will help my students Lee their things tidy as well. My students are unique because they are resilient and try very hard to excel. The items will help the students with their emotions and help them to self regulate.
