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 make the effort to come to school every day, regardless of their circumstances. They love completing work and having it in their notebook. Many are not financially able to buy their own notebook. Students need notebooks to show their thinking. I also need printing paper to support diverse learners in my classroom. I would appreciate your help in getting the essential materials for my students to be successful. Please help us add some essential classroom supplies to our classroom to enhance student learning, motivation, and engagement! These supplies will be kept in our classroom and will be used during classroom, partner, and small group instruction.
