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

This September will be my first year teaching solo which means I need to build my new classroom from the ground up!

With your support, I can create an inclusive, enriching classroom environment for my incoming class of English Language Learners.

I am seeking vital classroom materials to help create a safe, inspiring, and comfortable place for my first graders to learn and grow. I have requested items such as a folders, crayons, a teaching easel, and other vital classroom supplies that will be used daily by my students this upcoming year and in years to come.

Thank you for your support in giving my students the classroom that they deserve!

Ms. Bridges PS 86 Kingbridge Heights Grades PreK-2
