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

I would love to use the "on strike" books to help teach my kindergartners how to properly use their supplies. Many of our students come to kindergarten and have never been in school before. So, it is important to take the time to teach about each supplies and the correct way to use them. These books will ensure that students are engaged in the lesson.

We also always have a need for glue sticks and expo markers and are always running low in the supplies.

As we are halfway through the school year we are very low with the supplies and we are in need of this! As well as the rhyming games to help practice skills we have learned and help our new students learn rhyming skills as well!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
