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 live in a low-income/high poverty, urban school district. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom, including emotional trauma, a high mobility rate, and many other special needs. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and ninety-nine percent receive a free lunch and breakfast. My students are seventy percent Hispanic and thirty percent African-American. The majority of my students are far below the national and state standards in reading and math.

Our school is very limited when it comes to distributing resources.

We would like to do more to provide our children with the supplies they need, but our school budget crisis makes this difficult.

My Project

There is a big push for homework completion at my school. A lot of students come without the proper supplies that they need in order to be successful. I want to provide them with a folder that has a front view so that they can easily view what is expected of them.

All students will be able to clearly read what they have for homework in a glance!

This two-pocket folder with a front view is a life-saver. Everything that they need to be successful will be right at their fingertips. No more saying that they lost their homework sheet because it is attached to their take-home folder.
