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

With the start of the new school year quickly approaching, I am hoping to get help with some art supplies and motivational classroom rewards. Every year I have students who enjoy creating masterpieces. I am hopeful that with your help I can give them the supplies they need to let their creative juices flow. The requested watercolor paper is more durable than regular construction paper and is a necessity when using watercolor paint. Since the brain loves color, colored cardstock art paper, classroom caddy, and basic classroom materials, paper cutter, and colored paper will also encourage creativity.

My students will also be able to work for various rewards all year.

With your help, the motivational bracelets, pens, pencils, charms, stickers, and styluses will be used as rewards every student will have the opportunity to earn. Students love to get paid for doing their jobs and many put in extra work on needed skills to get a posted reward.

Please help my classroom out by supporting our project. My students will be so excited to use the art supplies and earn the great rewards! I thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
