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 kids are great. My school is located in the South Bronx. Some of my kids face great challenges. These supplies will make it easy for my students to practice in reading and math. These supplies will also help them build their math and reading skills.

I am requesting chart paper, stools, expo markers, disfecting wipes and math manipulatives.

This will make it easy for my students to practice their reading, writing, and math everyday. This will support their learning and growth in all subject areas.

Thank you for your kind consideration.
