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 hard-working, creative, highly motivated, and a diverse groups of learners. They come to school ready to learn, and I want to give them a safe, happy, and productive classroom.

This holiday season, I would love to teach my students about helping the community by doing a food drive for Thanksgiving.

I am requesting canned vegetables, canned yams, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, baskets, etc.

I want to spread holiday cheer during this time. The baskets will go to student's families. Thank you for considering giving this wonderful gift to my second-grade students.
