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

Our third grade scholars have not had it easy. They have not had a "normal" school year since kindergarten, and they deserve a memorable send-off!

My scholars have given school their all this year, and they truly deserve an unforgettable send-off!

I would love to be able to make a gift bag of goodies for them, including butterflies to remind them of watching our caterpillars transform into butterflies (like them!), smiley face stress balls, erasable pens, bubbles, and beach balls that they sign for one another to ensure they remember our amazing class.

I would also like to create a beautiful, individualized page to put in a frame to describe each of my wonderful scholars. To do this, I would need card stock and color ink.

We have done so much great learning this year, and being able to give them a bag of memories and personalized letters will be so meaningful. Please help me give the gift of memories of their first "normal" year back to school so they are energized and enthusiastic to take on 4th grade!
