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 students arrive at school energetic and ready to learning. The hand sanitizers are a necessity since the classroom doesn’t have a sink. The students will need to sanitize their hands before eating their breakfast in the classroom, going to lunch, and throughout the day as needed. Since there are still some restrictions due to the pandemic, the students will use their own manual pencil sharpeners to help reduce the spread of the virus in the classroom. The electric pencil sharpener will be used to sharpen pencils for students who misplace their individual pencil sharpener.

By donating to our project, you will not only help my students stay healthy, but you will also help increase their creativity.

The multi-color washable and permanent markers will be used to make colorful pictures during art lessons. The students will also draw pictures relating to math or English Language Arts lessons. The colorful pictures will be displayed in the classroom or in the auditorium.
