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 tools I am requesting will facilitate and enrich my students' learning. The partitions we currently have are more than ten years old. Many are torn and covered in pen and pencil marks. Our whiteboards are stained from years of use. Some are no longer usable.

Success comes from having the right tools.

My students will use the whiteboards you fund to practice spelling and math skills. The partitions will allow my students privacy while taking assessments and doing independent work. The digital stopwatch will allow me to time physical education tasks, such as when my students run a quarter mile.
