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, Ms. Torres here! Back to ask for your help to provide comfort and care to my students! I need your help to restore some items in my classroom that truly make it a warm and caring environment for my students. I'm asking for 2 space heaters for my classroom as well as an automatic hole puncher and a replacement cable for my clock. Please consider helping me fulfill my goals.

Help me continue creating a warm and welcoming environment for my students!

The 2 space heaters will provide literal warmth for my students as well as myself helping us be more comfortable in my freezing cold classroom which makes it hard to focus. I am also asking for an automatic hole punch to help me with time management; that way instead of spending time on a tedious task such as this I can dedicate more attention to my students. The last item needed to help achieve my project goal is a replacement cable for my digital clock; this is the clock that's visible to the whole class and used to help my students practice time management when we do timed activities! With these items I truly believe I can enhance the environment of my classroom and provide a much needed element of warmth!
