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

How frustrating is it when you just can't find the color you need while coloring? How about when you're really interested in a topic you were introduced to and can't find a book on it? Welcome to my students' lives.

I am a fourth grade teacher in a low income, high-need community.

Most of my students come from bilingual households where money is tight. I supply almost all of the books my students will read during their fourth grade career. I also supply most, if not all, of the art and writing tools they will use.

My Project

I have requested pencils, markers, and books for my classroom. I have requested the Ticonderoga pencils so when my students are out of pencils I will have one available for them. This particular brand sharpens fast and doesn't break easily. I have requested a classpack of markers and extras in red and blue because those get used up quicker than the other colors. I have also requested books that are related to our curriculum. These are topics that the students get interested in after being introduced to them during lessons. I don't have many books in my library for these topics so I'd like to add to it to keep them interested and learning! I hate to get them excited about a topic and then they can't investigate further.

This project will make a difference in my students' lives in various ways.

Most importantly, it will keep them interested in learning in a critical year where they take three state tests and begin to dislike school. Thank you so much for taking an interest in my students' education.
