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 a resource teacher for students who are in middle school and have very big appetites. When they are hungry, they can’t focus or learn. I keep a snack drawer for my students who need a mid-day pick-me-up or something for breakfast or lunch. Having these snacks will allow my students to feel full and ready to learn.

I also included some items for our room that will help create a conducive learning environment and help with organization such as a charging cart, lamp, and organizer.

I would be very grateful for any donations towards this project.
