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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. The crayons, colored paoer, pencils, glue sticks, and other supplies of this sort will be used by the kindergarten students daily. I have also requested a class set of headphones and snacks.

Students will have access to all the supplies they need to complete assignments at their individual desks, so they do not have to get out of their seat to look for them.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
