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 classroom needs help with organization. The paper organizer will help my students be able to pull the color they want with ease. The Velcro dots will help me hang colorful posters around the room and the markers will help me make memorable posters for my students to learn from. We appreciate your donations to help make our classroom colorful and cheerful. It provides the students with a happy welcoming environment to learn in. They will be very excited to see all the new colors and materials that make their classroom clean and organized.
