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

My hard-working students who are learning English are in need of some supplies! We will be beginning some long-term projects that involve writing paragraphs and creating visual representations of topics studied in class.

We are looking for fun pens, markers, craft sticks, and sticky notes to help us with our writing!

We are also looking for a stand up whiteboard for writing instruction. We are in need of some inspiring lights to keep us positive and happy, and last we need some pet essentials for our classroom pet hamster!

Fun writing tools will help motivate us to write more! We love to use different writing utensils when we make our final drafts!

We are also looking for some supplies to help take care of our class pet--our hamster! We love our hamster and need some essentials to keep him healthy!
