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

Throughout the year, our class has received amazing materials through generous donations. These materials are used every day and have helped students learn and work together. Hands-on materials need to be cleaned weekly, if not daily, and the Clorox wipes will help with sanitation.

Our hardwood floors can get messy with kinetic sand, play-doh and art materials so a vacuum will allow messes to be cleaned up easily.

Kleenex is a necessity in kindergarten and our supply is very low. Help my students keep their noses dry and hands clean with some extra boxes to use through the end of the year. These supplies will help keep our class clean and sanitary and create a wonderful space to learn.
