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 students love to color. I can't keep them in crayons and markers. Can you help us please? I am requesting a classroom set of crayons and write and wipe markers for our white boards. My students love to do art projects and use their imaginations and I don't want that to go away but I am afraid due to lack of resources I may have to cut down on crayons without your assistance. I teach in a small, low income, rural school in Northeast Alabama. Our school has a high population of ESL and free/reduced lunch students. My classroom consists of 14 Hispanic children, 3 Caucasian children and 1 African American child. All of my students except one receive free or reduced lunch. Due to the overwhelming poverty level I do not want to ask the parents to send crayons to school when they are having a hard time putting food on the table. I would appreciate your help. Thank you for reading my proposal and considering helping my students. Who knows: I might have the next Picasso or Van Gogh in my room!
