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

During my student teaching I had the wonderful opportunity to take over my own classroom. Though I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to experience a classroom of my very own, I was sort of thrust into a classroom that had very few supplies for me. I found that I was without a lot of the necessary items to help me be a successful teacher, thus doing a disservice to my students.

For a student to be successful, the teacher needs the supplies to help them get there.

The supplies I am hoping to receive will help me be the teacher I want to be for my students. I wish for my classroom to have a full, robust library to allow my students to explore all kinds of books. An organized classroom means that students can learn in peace so I am asking for supplies to help keep my classroom in tip-top shape. I am requesting manipulatives to help my students learn through hands-on experiences.

After finishing my "half" first year, I owe it to my students next year to provide them with a classroom that they deserve.
