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

What can I say, but that the children are great. Sure most are economically disadvantaged and will lack many of the basics to begin the new school year but they come with smiles.

Many children will return to learning in school and will need supplies to keep clean.

Some children will have concerns about their health and safety.

The children are eager to learn and you guessed it, get back to reading and math routines.

My Project

The children need to feel comfortable while learning.

To maximize learning various supplies are needed to feel comfortable.

The air purifier will keep the room a bit cleaner so the children will feel better and more at ease. The tables and desks are cleaned between groups so the wipes are just what is needed to reassure the children that all is ok and clean so learning can flourish.

Kids' noses always need lots of tissues. It's just one more way to keep comfortably clean. I can see the boys and girls now - big smiles on their faces.

Some face masks to comfort those children whose parents still require them to wear one or just want to use one.

Your kind help will ensure the children have what is needed to feel comfortably clean and more at ease to learn.
