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

We are expecting a new rug and we want to keep our rug clean so we can use it as a class meeting area. However, we do not have the supplies to keep it clean. We need a vacuum to help us keep it clean and learn how to use the gifts we have received by our supporters with responsibility.

We need to keep our room clean, but at the same time to keep our learning environment as clean as possible so we can do our best at learning.

Help us keep our room clean so we can learn in the best possible environment.
