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 inner-city Kindergarten students deserve to have quality learning materials available in their learning environment. Unfortunately, it is often the reality that my kids' parents cannot afford to provide such things. We are talking about very basic materials such as pencils, crayons, markers, glue sticks, etc. I have typically been the one to supply a lot of the materials and I am asking for some help.

I want my kids to love coming to their classroom every day, and having new materials and tools for them to use is key!

Please help me provide some of the essentials that will enable them to feel pride and ownership of their environment and all the materials in it.

Thank you for keeping the needs of my students in mind as you read through this proposal.

Mrs. Carter
