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

We would like help with getting crafting supplies for our class. Lots of our projects would need a hot glue gun, heat stick, sequence, beads, key chain making and much more. We love to make our own name key chains, and make houses with our jumbo popsicle sticks. Our students love to dazzle up their drawings with sequences. The possibilities are unlimited when we have the supplies we need. These materials can help our imagination run wild and we need your help! I want to thank you in advance for your help!
