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 love how excited my students are to learn! They come to class ready to explore new ideas and work together. The resources I’m asking for, including an electric sharpener, will make their learning experience even better and our classroom more fun.

By restocking important supplies like highlighters, dry-erase markers, and glue sticks, I can ensure my students have what they need to be creative and involved in lessons.

The highlighters and markers will help them keep their thoughts organized, and the glue sticks will make hands-on projects easier. The electric sharpener will keep their pencils ready to use without wasting time.

The utility cart will help carry lunches and supplies, making our daily routines smoother so students can focus on learning.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom that encourages teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking. With these resources, I want to make a space where my students can grow and succeed. Your support will really help their learning journey!
