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

I am a new teacher at a new school who is trying to transform the classroom environment into a cozy, welcoming place where children will feel joy and excitement for learning. Each item requested is going to be used to beautify the classroom and replace old or missing items. Many of the materials requested are going to replace items that are broken. My students have a large interest in exploring their classroom environment and I would like to give my students the opportunity to enjoy these areas with materials that are safe to play with. With your help, I can enrich the environment and continue helping children find joy in learning.
