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

The materials and supplies I am requesting are for our class to be a safe and welcoming classroom environment. This year our classroom theme is about being kind and spreading kindness around our community, style, and school. The paint will be used to bring color to our classroom, and the borders will be put around the bulletin boards as decoration. Pencils are nice and sharp to make us better writers. The markers will be used to help us form our letters correctly. Furniture will be used as flexible seating to help our students learn in the best way possible.
