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 students are always ready to learn. They appreciate to be in an organized classroom where they can locate the materials in class. A laminating machine will help me laminating flash cards, posters, folders, rubrics, vocabulary words and much more!! A label machine will help children develop responsibility as they care for the materials they use. It turns clean-up time into a valuable learning opportunity and gives visual clues to the location of items. My students and I are very grateful of what we can get to make our classroom a functional one ! Thanks for your donations!!
