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 Students

My students come to school excited to learn. They are general education, ENL, and special needs students. Many students come from low-income families.

My Kindergarteners come ready to learn and get excited when they walk into the classroom.

Help me give them the basics so they can continue to feel ready to learn and excited about school!

My Project

Let's give my students the basics to start off a successful year. I want to give my students the basic supplies to use at school and at home. This will help families to not worry about spending money on basics and to focus on learning.

Basic supplies are a start to a successful school year.

They need pencils, crayons, notebooks and folders to be organized and productive learners. These basic supplies will be used during reading, writing, math, art, science and social studies. Please help me give my students the Basics for success!
