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

Our students have gone through lots of materials such as paper, expo markers, erasers, to support learning.

Lacking of supplies should never enable students from their learning experiences.!

My project will support restocking of items used in the classroom, to continue the learning process. The second half of our school year, we plan on working on projects including group activities. These supplies will ensure students have all necessary tools to be successful.

The items requested, such as the lapboards, headphones, and whiteboards, will surely impact how learning is acquired in our classroom. I thank you for your time and generosity towards racing to the end of this academic school year!
