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

As a first year teacher I want to make my classroom a safe space where all of my students are able to learn in an environment where they can really flourish.

I would like to create a welcoming environment through flexible seating, sensory tools, and manipulatives.

I teach 12 bright students with disabilities and I would appreciate your donations to make my students' learning fun and engaging. I teach in a low income area where access to colored printing is limited, colored ink and paper will make our learning more appealing to my students. Thank you for all of your support.

Ms. Archila 118th Street Elementary School Grades 3-5
