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 students are eager fourth graders who at times come to school without the supplies they needed. My project will help provide for those who are unable to purchase the supplies needed for the upcoming school year.

The supplies include glue, nameplates for their desks, and pocket protectors for their work.

The classroom supplies will be kept in the classroom and will be used during classroom and small group instruction. The classroom will be efficient with plenty of supplies for all. Having basic classroom supplies, students will have enough material to complete their classwork. Supplies are vital for the day-to-day function of the classroom. Thanks in advance for your support!
