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

Help! We need to keep cool during the warm spring and summer and some fall days. My kindergarten and 1st-grade students need a cool classroom in order to provide them with engaging instruction. My students struggle with keeping on task and their focus when it gets too hot in the classroom. We are constantly taking breathing breaks and water breaks.

This tower fan will help us stay focused and productive during these warm days.

Learning will continue and my students will be more eager to engage in lessons as well as work throughout the day without so many breaks. Also, the ink will help us get through the year with the copies to create engaging activities. Keep the learning going for us with your generous donation.
