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

My students are great. They love learning and I love seeing that spark in their eyes when they are learning new things. To learn new things they need basic supplies.

Having the needed materials will make learning so much easier.

My students need pencils for writing. They practice writing sounds, words, and sentences daily in class. My students need twisty crayons, they are older and these are much nicer to use than regular crayons. The students also need cleaning supplies such as wipes and Clorox wipes to keep the room clean and germ-free.

All of these items will help my students have a fantastic school year!
