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

The specific items we are requesting are going to make a significant difference in their learning. The Cheez-Its and Pringles are for our snack time we have daily, as my kids have specific eating habits. The Lakeshore kindness cubes will help with my 5th graders work on being better friends as they are working on a lot before they enter middle school next year!! The weighted plush dinosaur is to help my friends who have anxiety or need help with emotional regulation. The cleaning wipes will help keep all of our babies healthy and at school! The DC figurines will go in my treasure box for my kids to work for and earn!

My kids deserve the world!

My goal for this project is to continue to work at filling my classroom with supplies and engaging toys.

My students are special to me, of course, however, they are all extremely unique as they are all in my ACL classroom. All of them have unique needs and their learning is tailored to them because of this!!
