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

I am currently a 5th grade teacher. The school where I have the privilege of serving as an educator is a Title I school. Many of our students come from single-parent homes and surviving off of one parent home incomes.

These students are not only the smartest kids I know but also the strongest.

Many of these students reside in low socioeconomic housing. These students also struggle with hunger and safety. However, many of these students strive for excellence. Our students are resilient and are some of the brightest kiddos I know.

My Project

All of my students are Title I. Many of my students reside in homes where money and resources are scarce. Considering I teach 5th grade many of my students are the older sibling. Many of them will not be receiving Christmas presents. This year I would l like to be able to supply my students with Christmas presents before the holiday comes. All of my boys are interested in basketball and my girls enjoy coloring with gel pens. Therefore, I have put together a list for my boys to receive a basketball and my girls to receive a coloring book with gel pens. Please help me give my students a delightful Christmas.
