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

This year we have 6 amazing second graders. They come in each and every day ready to thrive and achieve their goals. Sometimes the task at hand can be challenging for them to complete so they need motivating reinforcers to help them get through lessons. My students have different needs and are all unique. These items will help them stay motivated and get through their work so they can be successful and have fun learning at the same time. My project includes plushies, books, puzzles, sensory items, toys, games, and some basic items to help label, sanitize, and organize these items. These items also will help them meet goals in their IEP. By donating to our project not only would you be putting great big smiles on our student's faces but you will also be contributing to their educational growth.
