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

Help me give my students new supplies for the 2023-2024 school year. The mesh zippier bags are great for third graders to hold all of their stuff when switching classes. The binders will be for the students who do not come with one on the first day of school. The clock will help them learn to tell time without it being digital. The fan is for when it is over 100 degrees in Texas and our AC is struggling to keep up. It can get HOT! The pom poms are for our dry erase markers. I will glue them to the caps so that they can erase easily. Lastly, the wireless diffuser will be use to keep the classroom smelling clean and pleasant. Being in a classroom with 20 kids after recess can get smelly!
