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 am simply requesting copy paper to put in my copy machine at my school since we do need to print out assignments not only in English but also in other languages.

My district does not supply copy paper for teachers.

So I am just asking for help so that I do not have to buy it all year from my own pocket.

This project will reach multiple students in multiple subject areas such as ELA, Science, Social Studies, and Math. The colored paper will help us with highlighting words for word walls and providing diagrams that stand out on our walls.
