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

I have created this project to request hands-on manipulatives and puzzles to help support my students' learning through play. Each donation will be of great impact for years to come.

The materials requested will be used on a daily basis during literacy and math workstations.

My goal is to enrich the experience my students get at school, especially in pre-K, where the foundation is built. Having positive experiences at school will help them have positive attitudes towards their education which will have a great impact in their future.

I serve bilingual students in a low socioeconomic area. I want them to have everything they need, to have a great first year of their learning careers.

Thank you!
