Supplies For My Kiddos!

Help me give my students fresh school supplies. Many students begin the school year with no school supplies and need notebooks and folders to start the school year. I also like giving special things for birthdays.

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

As the school year begins soon, I started thinking, I would like to support my students' everyday learning with new and fresh school supplies. I also provide my students with birthday prizes, which makes them feel special. Many students begin the school year with no school supplies and fresh notebooks and folders will make them feel special and ready to start the school year. Providing my students with the necessary school supplies to be successful is a great way to begin their school experience.

Birthday prizes will be given on student's birthdays to make them feel extra special and we all sing happy birthday to them.
