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

Learning is messy, especially in Kindergarten! Having a vacuum on hand will help me handle that reality. The vacuum will make cleanup quick and manageable so students can focus on learning and I can focus on teaching. It will also help students develop good habits of cleaning up after themselves. This is a skill they can take into their adult lives. Having this new vacuum in our classroom will allow us to be able to keep our classroom clean and fresh every day. Please help us receive this cleaning tool so that I can keep the classroom clean for my kindergartners every day.
