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 a flooring teacher with twelve classes of 30 minutes each. It is almost impossible to complete an assignment, this is the reason I am requesting donations for a printer, ink, copy paper, doble size white boards, colored pencil, sharpener, Spanish Scholastic subscription to improve my students' learning skills.

Scholastic magazine will help my students reading, speaking, and comprehension skills.

We'll use white board to answer and make questions in class. Printer to copy our chores and activities.

Spanish classes usually do not get funds because we are the so-called Special Area, but our students have to comply with the Curriculum as the other areas do. I will appreciate any help you can give my students.
