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 class is made up of eager learners. They love to illustrate stories and color or paint them. They also draw out math problems. These requested supplies will enable them to do just that. As the first trimester comes to a close, their supplies have dwindled. We need to replenish them so my students can continue to work through the next trimester without missing a beat.

We use dry erase boards everyday so we don’t waste paper.

We create artwork that we like to laminate. Pencils are always in high demand. Water color paper is much more durable to use for our projects than construction paper. Plastic sheet protectors hold worksheets that help with daily practice. Dry erase markers are used daily in all areas of study. Please help us get these supplies so we can continue to be productive learners! Thank you!
