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

Please donate to my classroom. We are in desperate need of basic classroom supplies. I am requesting a variety of items, such as, 2-pocket folders for writer's workshop, a classroom set of color pencils for art, a set of plastic baskets to turn in handouts, printer ink to print out their assignments, and pencils & math spirals for math.

These items are essential for my students to stay engaged and learn.

I usually pay for these items myself, which is extremely expensive. So any donation to my class will be much appreciated!
