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

As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the challenges they are faced with, my kids are always finding ways to overcome and inspire me. I am wanting to provide my students with math materials to help them achieve their learning goals.

I will be new to the grade and need materials to make sure my students are learning.

These items will help me make sure students have hands-on activities and a curriculum to learn from.

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door!
