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

In our Pre-k4 classroom we use our center materials on a daily basis. Please help provide the essential supplies our students need to be replenished, ensuring we can continue working at our fullest potential. These supplies are crucial to maintaining an effective and engaging learning environment.

Specifically, we are in need of play foam for a sensory activity, alphabet play dough stamps, preschool lined paper to help with writing, and dry erase markers to practice their name.

With these materials, our students will have the tools they need to enhance their learning experience and reach their full potential.
