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

Dear Donors, please help me give my students aquarium filters and goldfish food to help them keep their classroom pet healthy and thriving.

Additionally help my students foster their creativity by providing construction paper and Sharpies.

These materials will them engage in open ended art activities where the children will have the opportunity to problem solve and critically think as they create art crafts with the construction paper and Sharpies.

Furthermore, the binder and binder dividers will help keep my students developmental data in order as the progression of their growth is being recorded. These materials will help me assess and plan each students academic needs.
