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

In our 5th grade special education classroom, my students work hard every day to build their reading, writing, and math skills. To support their learning, our goal is to restock their essential supplies like notebooks, pencils, dry-erase markers, erasers, and folders to keep their work organized. Laminating pouches will help create durable, reusable learning materials tailored to their needs. These basic but vital tools will allow my students to focus on their education without worrying about missing supplies. Your support will help provide them with the resources they need to thrive! We are just about 1/2 way through our school year and the supplies of my students have been exhausted already! Please support.

My 5th grade, special education students are unique, resilient learners who thrive with the right tools and sensory supports.

They deserve a restock of essential supplies to stay engaged and organized, along with mini containers of slime to provide sensory regulation and stress relief. These resources will help create a supportive, hands-on learning environment where they can focus, grow, and succeed!
