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 just need your help in getting everything through our door! The portable desks will allow my students the opportunity to work in our hallway nook and be successful. The cushions will make our area homey and comfy for reading. The basic supplies of dry erase markers, erasers and pouches help with learning and if every student has their own supplies learning is not interrupted.

By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether they have the materials they need or if they are comfortable. going to work or not.
