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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am requesting basic supplies for my classroom. These supplies will help facilitate the learning in my classroom.

These supplies will help my students have the resources and tools they need to be successful and safe.

The supplies include Lysol wipes which will help keep students safe, laminating pouches so students can participate in interactive learning, toner for our printer, pencils, erasers, clipboards and whiteboard markers so they can have tools and be able to demonstrate what they are learning.

These are all supplies we have been using since the beginning of the year and our supply has diminished.

Grades 3-5
