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

The materials I am requesting are basic materials all teachers need to teach. For example, I am requesting timers to help with reading fluency and math fluency. I am requesting sharpeners because I currently don't have one and my kids break their pencils all day long.

I am also requesting a digital clock to help my students who have special needs and cannot read the analog clock, transition easily from activity to activity.

The card stock will be used throughout the year for various art activities. The items I have requested will be purchased by me and getting a bit of help will help class as a whole.
