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

It is that time of year where I really am getting to know my students. I know who might need a different seating option to best work for their body. I know what book levels I'm lacking in our classroom library for emerging readers. I know what art supplies have been popular and need replenishing. And we've also used up some of our basic supplies that need replenishing.

Please help get my class these important supplies that will help with math, reading, art, and flexible seating.

If you look through my item list you will see a variety of items. We have a big need for some new 3rd grade level books for our approaching grade level readers. We also have a variety of students that could use flexible seating and movement to move to where their body will learn best. We are just starting to really focus on multiplication math facts so we would be so happy to have the included math games to reinforce their math fact fluency.

Thank you for taking the time to read this grant. Next week on Giving Tuesday all donations will be doubled by an anonymous donor.
