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 hoping to replenish my paint supply with a few colors that we are missing. With Valentine's Day coming up, I need red, pink, and purple paint. My other requested colors will help to balance out our classroom supply and provide us with any colors that are almost empty. Children need a variety of choices for the tools in which to express themselves. Paint and stickers will add to our art center and help give us some fun and missing colors in our projects. The batteries will be used for our games and touchless hand sanitizer. The hand sanitizer is used often. The machine requires four batteries at a time and with its repetitive usage, they need replacing often to keep us healthy and clean.

Paint and stickers will add to our creative learning while the batteries will fill our equipment and touchless hand sanitizer which we use often.

Thank you for considering my classroom for your donation.
