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

Dear Donors,

Please help us get dry erase boards and markers so that we can have fun while we learn.

My students love using dry erase markers to solve math problems. Just the fact that they get to use these supplies makes them go the extra mile. When we have to solve complex multi-step math problems they can get a bit confused and having dry erase boards helps them write out their thoughts.

They also enjoy using the dry erase board for literacy when they plan out their essays. Dry erase boards would make our classroom run more smoothly and effectively. We appreciate you and your support.

Sincerely,

Analia Torres
