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

This will be my 3rd year with my little learners! The majority come from low-income households, and each faces unique challenges in their everyday life.

I have created this project with the hopes of giving them each some basic necessities that will help them come back to a classroom where they feel safe, loved, and equipped with the tools to help each of them succeed.

I am asking for 3-ring binders, looseleaf paper, subject divider tabs, pencils, folders, and other basic supplies for my incoming students! In addition, I am asking for some new books I can read to the class during the first few weeks of school!
