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 love when my kindergartners can use their imaginations and make something for themselves and others!

Throughout the school we make gifts for their families, gifts for each other, and create!

I would love to be able to have bags and gems for my kindergartners to decorate to put their gifts in for others as well to use them for other holidays too when they are given gifts from their classmates! I would also like to obtain printer ink to be able to print various items for practice and projects throughout the school year that are needed!

Thank you for your consideration in helping my classroom!
