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

These items are some items that are needed to continue our learning activities. We are running low on our dry erase markers my students use to do their work on their own white board to practice math and spelling. Many color boxes have been used up and need new crayons. I also need the stapler to continue making our classroom books packets. And laminating sheets to provide activity to use our dry erase markers during our centers learning time. These are a few of the many items we need in our classroom and I would greatly appreciate the help you have provided to my classroom.
