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 class is composed of 55 fifth-graders in a general education class, with students with IEP and ELL learners and special education students, who may have autism.

A typical day in my classroom looks active.

My students are engaged in learning activities that get them moving, talking to their peers, and asking great questions. You will not see a lot of worksheets in my classroom. My students are learning through hands-on experiences.

I teach in a Title I school.

My fifth-grade students come from very diverse families. I am excited to share that my school is a genuinely diverse community. Not only do students come from varying ethnic backgrounds and places, but the life experiences that they’ve had are incredibly unique. My scholars are creative, thoughtful, and full of excitement!

My students are 9 and 10-year children that love coming to school. When school was closed in the spring of 2020, due to the pandemic, not only were the kids wanting to come back, but we missed seeing their smiling faces every day.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will help them feel welcomed and prepared on our very first day. Our goal is to provide a safe and warm environment where our kids don't have to worry about not having what they need.

By surprising each student with a mood-lifting welcome baggie at their seat, they will feel less anxious about in-person learning right on the first day.

Each baggie will be filled with pre-sharpened pencils for writing, a glue stick for activities, erasers, a bookmark to mark their place in their newly chosen just right book, some stickers for personalizing, and some other special treats. Our goal is to help our kids feel welcomed and ready for an amazing year of learning.
