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

When my students first start school, they are eager to learn but often lack the proper class materials.

With this project, I hope to provide my students with the right tools for success.

I am requesting a variety of dry-erase markers so that my students have a color option. I am also requesting microfiber cloths so they can use them to erase mistakes from the whiteboard. As a teacher or student, one can never have enough pencils. The highlighters and markers will be used when they identify a passage's spelling pattern or main idea. Your support towards our classroom is greatly appreciated.
