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

My students come to school in a low income area outside of Boston and often cannot afford the basic supplies needed to be a successful student.

These pencils, glue sticks, paper, and scissors will be given to the students to use to create projects, including alternative assessments.

My students are special because they put forth much effort and care about their learning. They appreciate doing crafty projects to express what they have learned. These materials will be provided to allow that to happen.

Thank you in advance for your support!
