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

Most times when I think of what I need for my classroom, I forget about the little things, the bare necessities that I don't realize I am missing like a timer or even white board markers. My students love to use the "teacher pens" and the "teacher markers" and I love sharing with them. But then, I run out too.

The donations from this project will provide my students and I with every day basics like markers, binders, and a timer.

My students will be thrilled to actually see the timer, rather than hear the beep from my phone. Their faces will light up when we have clean dry erase pockets to complete their work. They will be relieved when I can project my computer screen instead of them trying to squeeze around my computer screen.
