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

The students in my classroom are bright and excited learners. They would like nothing more than to learn and enjoy their school in a safe environment. They come from diverse backgrounds and enjoy coming to school. My boys and girls have the best smiles and are ready to learn new things each and every day.

Most of our students are from low-income homes, and 90% of our class consists of students who are receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

These boys and girls are book lovers who always want to learn and explore. Upon meeting these great kids, I was already hooked on their engaging and unique personalities. We are looking forward to an exceptional school year.

My Project

We are off to a great start this 2021-2022 school year. The products I have selected will help to lead students in the direction of a new and promising school year.

The Teacher Pay Teacher gift card will be fundamental in providing access for digital resources and helping to communicate concepts to my students.

With the help of microphone amplification, I can speak in my natural, voice without having to shout behind my mask. The Happy Birthday bracelets will make the students feel extra special on their special day.

These items will be extremely beneficial for students to start this new year with great new supplies. I have seen firsthand the positive effect that having new supplies, provided by their teacher, makes kids' motivation, attitude and self esteem grow!
