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

The items that are being requested will allow me to fulfill the expectations of implementing new programs, learning centers, and a Zen Corner in my classroom. My students deserve the very best! Many of the items on my list are things that have to be replaced several times throughout the school year and this can become overwhelming for both educators and families. Please help me by giving anything you can to provide my classroom with the materials needed to create, teach, and support my dual language students. Thank you in advance!
