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

My students come to school with very diverse backgrounds, including the socioeconomic status of their families. Few students are able to come to school with the necessary supplies to last the school year.

All students deserve crayons, pencils, and engaging activities in their learning environment.

In addition to the paper, glue sticks, pencils, and crayons, I have included Kleenex and “more than peach” crayons and paper. These materials will allow my students to create projects that represent themselves authentically. Your donations to this project will help my classroom start off on the right foot!
