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 love students creative minds. My students come to class full of energy, creativity, and a desire to learn—but we are in need of some basic classroom supplies to support their growth each day.

We’re hoping to get anchor chart paper for group learning, pencils and erasers for daily work, colored pencils and crayons to bring creativity to lessons, and pencil holders to keep our materials organized and easy to use.

These simple tools are essential for helping my students stay engaged, express themselves, and build strong learning habits. Your support will directly impact their ability to focus, participate, take pride in their work and reach their learning goals.

Thank you for helping us create a classroom where learning is fun, organized, and full of possibility!
