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 the new school year approaches, it brings along with it a wave of changes in regulations, laws, and class sizes. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my class size is expanding from 22 to 28 students! With my current resources equipped for a class of 20, I find myself in urgent need of additional supplies across the board (or rather whiteboard) like more crayons, pencils, paper, and quite a few more Expo markers.

I strongly believe that very student deserves to have their very own set of supplies to support their learning journey.

Therefore, we will require a few more Crayola markers, a few more glue sticks, and extra paper to facilitate our educational activities effectively. I'm incredibly grateful for any donations that can help us meet these needs so my students can start the year off with fresh, new supplies.
