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

My students are very special individuals. They come from an urban environment and often struggle financially. They often lack basic supplies to make learning successful in my classroom.

Despite their struggles, my students come to school with a positive attitude, ready to learn from me and one another.

They come from diverse backgrounds but they are ready and willing to work together to make learning fun!

I love being a teacher and my students know I care about their success!

My Project

I like to think my students have access to an unlimited supply of resources if we can copy and print in the classroom. As a First Grade Teacher we go through lots of paper. We print off extra supplies for the students to go above and beyond with their learning.

This project is needed for our everyday use of paper and ink.

In this project we ask for more copy paper and ink. I always find so many great resources online for my students. The only problem is running out of paper to print on or ink to use. Thank you so much for helping my students and I get more paper and ink to use everyday in the classroom.
