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 am requesting basic school supplies such as paper, glue, pencils and colored pencils to help my students become successful in class. These needed items will ensure that my students have the tools available to them when they walk into the classroom. I am also requesting a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to help purchase new and interactive activities for my students.

This project will allow all students to come to class knowing that they will have materials available to them.

I want to make sure that my students stay prepared and ready for the days learning.

My students are first year middle school students who are adjusting to middle school and want to learn. They encourage each other and work well together to make class a fun and exciting learning environment.
