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 am asking for materials that every classroom should have. I am requesting markers and Post-its to be used for math lessons, stamps to check students classwork, mounting tape to mount classroom posters, and a laminating machine to laminate student work. I am also asking for a classroom speaker/karaoke machine and a classroom door bell.

These teacher must haves would be a great addition to our classroom.

These materials would be helpful in creating a nicer classroom environment. Thank you so much for your time, support, and donation to public education! Happy Holidays!
