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 are very active and hard working from the moment they walk into the classrooms until it is time and to go home. Their enthusiasm for learning is apparent when walking down the halls. Our students come from various backgrounds, mostly low income. Teaching children from across the globe who speak little to no English is a challenge, but the one thing we all have in common is that we're excited about learning.
I have 18 beautiful children in Kindergarten who come from different parts of Central and South America.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.
My Project
A majority of my students come from low-income families.
I was shocked to notice that during the long winter months, many of my students would come to school wrapped in blankets to keep warm.
Their parents did not have the funds to buy winter outerwear for their children.
It is my goal to put together Blessing Bags which contain hats, scarfs, gloves, and hygiene products for them.
My students are proud, yet grateful for the assistance that our staff tries to provide. However, your generous donation will give me the opportunity to help my Kindergarten class, by sending home Blessing Bags that will help keep them warm and healthy this winter season. I'm asking for hats, scarfs, gloves, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
