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

Please help me in supporting my classroom for the upcoming school year, by supplying them with resources to benefit their education.

These items will be well loved, cherished, and appreciated by students who more than deserving to have a great education.

The whiteboard adhesive dots will be used during small group instruction to allow students to problem solve directly on the table, while still being an easy clean up. The flower pillows were a love of my previous class, and used all throughout the day, especially during independent reading.

Your donation will brighten the lives of many.
