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 we gear up for a brand new school year, I am thrilled to share a project that will set the stage for our young kindergarteners to begin their educational journey with excitement and enthusiasm.

Our classroom holds the promise of countless discoveries and milestones for our students, and I believe that the supplies we gather can truly make a difference.

With your help, we aim to provide each of our six tables with supply caddies, allowing our little learners to take charge of their belongings, fostering a sense of independence and responsibility from the very start.

But that's not all – we're aiming to make every day special for our students, and that includes their birthdays! Our plan is to use the charming birthday crowns to celebrate each student's special day, spreading joy and building a strong sense of community within our school. Furthermore, the picture frames will serve as a wonderful way to showcase our first-day smiles and unique personalities to everyone who steps into our classroom.

Additionally, I'm excited to share another aspect of our project. The heavy-duty bins in corresponding colors will also become a designated spot for our students to keep their daily snacks. This not only promotes organization but also teaches them valuable routines.

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a significant impact on these little hearts and minds. If you're able to support us, please consider donating supplies that will make our classroom an even more vibrant and dynamic space.
