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 new school year is fast approaching. Unfortunately, that means asking kids and parents to help supply classroom essentials. This is always difficult because I know how much the parents struggle to provide the basics at home. It is big problem because many of the children can't bring all requested items. I end up purchasing many of these items on my own because they are needed to help the classroom run. The paper towels, tissues, soap, and wipes help keep the germs away and help us all stay healthy. The glue sticks, erasers, and pencils are help us do work and projects inside and outside of the classroom. Please consider helping our class get off to a great start by providing these classroom essentials!
