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

All the items that i am requesting for my third grade students are essential for thir daily use. Children will use the expo markers to solve math problems during center time/small groups. Students use pencils every day and we are always in need of them. Clorox wipes will help keep all the students desk clean and germs free so they dont get sick. The printing papers are needed for worksheets and printable materials that are needed on a daily basis. My students love to draw and color and will be using the printing paper to express themselves through art. Students will use the plastic folders to organize their worksheets by subject for the school year. This will be of great help to all my students who will use these supplies every day. We hope you can supply these items that we are asking for. We appreciate your help. Thank you very much for helping our class get the basic supplies!
