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

I am requesting some essential classrooms supplies that are needed to ensure my students have a great year! I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for support as I prepare to launch an exciting new chapter in my students' educational journey. As I establish a new classroom designed to enhance learning and foster creativity, I am in need of essential supplies to ensure my students have the resources they need to thrive.

Our new classroom will serve a diverse set of students, and I are committed to creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

To bring my vision of a dynamic classroom to life, I am asking for a clock for visual engagement to ease the anxiety of some of my students. Kids are really looking forward to this. My students are also requesting a mini fridge to help store some of their perishable lunches as there are students who have dietary restrictions. I am also asking for some plants, posters, markets to make visual representation posters for my students with a learning disability who learn better with visuals, pillows and other decor for our cozy reading corner, cozy corner space wall deception and some snacks to help fuel and reward students every day!

These supplies are crucial for getting our year started and delivering a high-quality education and for creating an environment where students can explore, learn, and grow. Your generous support would greatly contribute to equipping our classroom with the necessary tools to foster an engaging and effective learning experience.
