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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The items I have requested will level the playing field for my incoming Kindergarten students. My goals for this project is to provide Kinders with the supplies they need to get off to a successful start. Some of the items I have requested are no longer provided by the school, including basics like construction paper, pencils, and glue. The construction paper will help me to provide opportunities for art projects. The laminating pouches will help me to laminate learning games and other classroom item that need to be reused for instruction. My students are special because 30% of students come from low income or under privileged households. Many parents cannot afford to provide these supplies for their children. We are also a Title I building in Western PA.
