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

Hello! My kids and I are past the midway point of the school year and we are making progress despite being under the cover of a global pandemic.

Around this time of the year, I like to do more hands-on, creative, and outdoorsy activities and lessons with my kids because they are older, are accustomed to my classroom rules and routines, and I trust them to be able to perform and handle them well.

I am asking for a plethora of items to make "edible" soil and plant seeds in Science such as mini planters, strainers, aprons, brooms, dustpans, and neem oil.

I am requesting materials to share our feelings and make albums of our art and writing in SEL such as feelings and behavior charts, scrapbooks, paper clips, and binder clips.

Thank you for considering donating my grant proposal.
