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

A new school year is upon us, and a vibrant bunch of students will need a variety of materials to start the year right. The toner cartridge is needed to print resources and activities for my students, such as the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and so much more. Tissues are always a must have with young kids, especially as the seasons change.

Children deserve the best, and I want to give them as much support as I possibly can with your help.

The Better Than Paper bulletin board paper will be used as a backdrop for my students' class work and art projects. The Ticonderoga primary pencils are great for the kids to use to strengthen their hand muscles as they practice writing their names, letters, and numbers. I am hopeful that my students will have all these great resources to use through their educational journey.
