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 work with English Language Learners and basic supplies are always in need. They need the materials and supplies to learn the culture, the academics, and the new language.

The markers, watercolor pencils, and colored pens will be used in our writing center.

The sketchbooks will be used in our SEL area. Other items such as hole punchers and the staple remover will make our daily life easier. The switches and paper cutter will be for our upcoming science unit. We always need pencils and a pencil sharpener to keep pencils sharp!

Please help us finish the year strong!

Mrs. Zelasco
Grades 3-5
