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 Project

As I prepare for my second year teaching, I want to make sure I provide basic school supplies for students to utilize throughout the school year such as white board markers, sticky notes, and crayons. They'll be able to use colors of the world crayons whenever they have to draw/ color themselves. The crayon sharpener will help us use the crayons throughout the school year. The sticky notes will help students express their ideas by putting them on anchor charts.

My goal for this project is to provide classroom supplies for students so that their parents have something less to worry about considering we are a Title 1 school.

Our student population is about 620+. We are 75% Latinos, 10% Black, 10% White, and the remainder a mix of Asian, Filipino, Pacific Islander or two or more races. 92% of our families are socioeconomically disadvantaged and we struggle with 51% chronic absenteeism. Our students should all feel equal when it comes to the supplies and resources that are provided for them because they are all important and special. I appreciate you for taking the time to read a bit about our story. Thank you in advance!
