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 requesting school supplies for my students. We will start a new school year and we need new materials. We need writing journals, math journals, post its, markers, color pencils, pencil boxes, homework folders, classroom folders, and a pencil sharpener to start the year. These materials are important to have when the school year begins.

New school materials for a new school year!

These materials will help us start the new school year. They need a folder where they can put their homework and school flyers away, it will be a communicating folder for their parents and I. Their writing journals are very important because they need to be able to write everyday and express their thoughts. These materials will be used throughout the school year. They will keep all of us organized and ready to learn. Thank you so much for your time, support, and donations to our classroom project!
