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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We need your help in getting everything through our door! The paper, staplers, markers, and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students so that they may create books. In our classroom, we will have baskets, crates, and cups organized on shelves to aid in the Writer's Workshop process. We will be utilizing all the materials for our math lessons and require a designated storage space for them.
