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

This school year I am so excited to teach 24 enthusiastic 3rd graders. I know that everyday essentials like the ones I have requested ( filler paper, 3-ring binders, pencils, erasers, dry erase markers, and markers) will be the heartbeat of our learning journey. These simple yet vital tools will help empower my students to engage fully in their lessons, express their creativity, and organize their thoughts. From practicing math problems to writing stories and creating colorful presentations, these supplies are the foundation upon which their academic success will be built.

My goal for this project is to ensure that no student is left behind.

I love my students and know they are so deserving of a quality education. These essential materials will make it possible for my students to stay organized, be prepared, and feel confident in their ability to complete various assignments.

Your generosity will make a lasting impact on my students' educational journey and empower them to reach for the stars. Thank you for considering supporting my classroom and being a champion for these bright young minds.
