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 Students

I am a first grade special education classroom teacher . There are about 25 students in first grade physically attending school and our class has been divided into three sections to keep social distancing.

Majority of our students come from low income families, shelters, and temporary housing households.

In my effort to make the holiday season festive, and cheerful I am seeking donations to make small take home goodie bags and class celebrations. Your donation will only bring smiles to my students.

My Project

In past years schools would provide goodie bags for students to take home during holiday celebrations. This year is very different with budget cuts and absolute no resources to do anything festive in classrooms. Most of my students are from shelters and temporary housing facilities. I would like to continue my tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with them and make small goodie bags to take home with them. I would like to decorate my classroom to make them feel special and would love to see tiny smiles on my first grades :)

Please help me make them smile, feel special and festive!
