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

My project is geared toward providing students with basic supplies such as dry-erase markers, boards, pencils, and gym supplies. We ask for poly spots and bean bags for gross motor play and group activities. Laminating sheets and book spines will be used to create activities and adaptive books to meet the specific needs of our students.

Our students are young and beginning to learn how to draw pictures and write their names.

We need markers and pencils to practice and improve our skills daily. We thank you for your support.
