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 are amazing! They come to school excited to learn and are ready to get started. The basic materials I'm requesting will give each student their own tools to do their work throughout the day.

These tools are not optional, they are required to get the work done!

Your donations will ensure my students have what they need to get started. The crayons, scissors and pencils are used each day during many subjects taught. The dry erase markers are used each day for word study and during literacy center time. This tools are just the basics students need to start the year!
