Celebrating 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
We are a first grade bilingual class in a low income/high poverty area. My students come from many different Spanish speaking countries and are faced with daily difficulties as they and their families try to search for the American Dream. My school provides some supplies to take away any unnecessary stress, but it is not enough.
Our first graders are on a journey to learn the English language.
Once they acquire a solid foundation in reading and writing in their native language, they transition to English almost instantly. They love to learn new vocabulary words and topics that are relevant to them. They are unique and certainly full of energy. Always eager to learn and share despite their challenges.
My Project
This project is intended to help my students obtain individualized sets of materials that will help them complete their work in school and at home. By providing these sets we will be able to comply with the safety guidelines that will be in place to prevent the spread of germs in the classroom.
The students will begin the year organized, prepared, and ready to learn in-person or remotely with the supply sets.
The binders will be used to organize writing project activities. The markers will be used in combination with the protector sheets to complete interactive activities as well as the scissors. The pencil cases will be used to store writing materials and the hand sanitizer will help us keep germs away. Help us start a great year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
