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 Donors! It is amazing how quickly a year can go by and a brand new school year rushes in to take its place.

As we embark on the start of this new journey in a new grade, there are tons of resources and materials that our classroom needs so that students can 'rock' into their fantastic new learning environment.

Your donations will help us to obtain charts and learning materials to add personality to our space. Pocket charts that each child will receive will help them to personalize their space and stay organized. Our theme this year is Pete the Cat. There are some Pete the Cat materials included in this project that will ensure that students have a fun and creative learning environment as they strive to become skilled readers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
