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

The last school year was so challenging for all our students. We operated on a hybrid model where the students only attended school every other day and were required to complete schoolwork at home on their beyond the building day. Some students were completely distance learning. Everyone struggled with this.

These kids are now back in school and learning in a new normal that requires them to wear masks at all times inside the building.

Many of my students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with limited resources available. I want to help alleviate this. Our school, built in 1965, is a Title I school in Nevada, serving 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students with 100% participation in the free breakfast and lunch program. Students are grouped in teams to build relationships with faculty, staff, and peers. This allows them to keep the same core set of teachers who will stay with them for their entire middle school journey. Team Texas is home to a diverse group of young people all striving to do the best they can with the materials they have.

My Project

As time goes by things in the class disappear or wear down. Most everything in this wish list is to restock the classroom so my students do not have to go unequipped. Since I have now received individual baskets (another donorschoose.org project) for each table, the students will have these supplies right at their seats.

Having pencils, colored pencils, markers, crayons, and staplers readily available in the desktop baskets keeps us from wasting countless minutes each class period getting the supplies that are needed from various locations around the room.

These supplies will allow me to provide each table with a supply basket! Instead of students having to fight for the best colored pencils, crayons and markers, each student can always know they are going to have the supplies they need and want to use. Every two students will share a supply basket with these materials and much more.
