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

Having the necessary supplies is essential in getting the year started right.

New books is a wonderful way to start the year, especially if the old ones have been well-used and loved.

The books requested will replace a few books that have been popular with my previous first graders. I know that having these books in our library will help my students be more excited for reading.

Other items that I am requesting will be essential to in helping us build our classroom community. We will be working on a variety of art projects that will help us get to know each other better.

Your support in providing these items will greatly contribute to a great beginning experience for our students.
