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

I have 26 kindergarten students this school year who are full of energy and, most importantly, eager to learn. They love to read and learn many subjects. They enjoy their classroom because it is full of fun activities and comfortable.

Students learn multiple subjects throughout the day including physical education indoors and outdoors.

They love reading and doing science experiments. They are very eager to learn every day and are learning to be the best that they can be. They love their classroom and want to learn something new every single day!

My Project

As we are embarking half of the school year, our classroom is in need of school supplies. Everyday students use their big crayons but there already use most of it and we have half year to go! They also need pencil bags since the ones they had are tearing and zippers are broken. I am asking donors to look at this project and be generous to donate anything they can. These materials will only be used in the classroom and be used every single day for independent work time. Many thanks!
