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

I teach reading to many different classes of brilliant girls in New York City. Many of my students are English Language Learners and children with special needs. Most qualify for free and reduced-price lunch.

All of my students are creative, thoughtful, and eager learners, and much of their knowledge this year has been expressed through their literacy and play.

It has been so exciting to see them fully engaged each day as they learn through collaboration and play with their peers.

I teach 27 bright and beautiful second graders in a high-need area of New York City. My students and I have been working intensively to get to grade level proficiency in reading. We set realistic reading goals and are working to make at least one year's growth. They have a goal-setting mindset.

My Project

I am gearing up for another incredible year in the classroom and you could help my students start the year off right! We need supplies to help create a wonderful learning environment.

By providing these students with ink, paper, glue, markers, pencils, and other basic supplies, they will feel more confident and secure in their learning experience.

When they come to school and don't have the supplies that they need, it interferes with learning and achieving our educational goals. With the proper materials, my students will be prepared to learn! You can give these students the tools they need to learn and the opportunity to grow as individuals by increasing their confidence. We will use the pencils and paper every day with various math and literacy projects. The incentive charts will be used to track daily homework and special assignments. We will use the post-its during reading workshop and chart paper for math instruction.

I am also requesting over 15 leveled books for my students to read during independent reading time. My students need leveled books to help them grow their reading skills. These books are high interest and engaging and will be read in school and home.

Help me create a learning environment where all students have access to the supplies they need. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of the 27 students that I teach daily. When my students are given the supplies they need I will be able to teach lessons and activities where students will be engaged and confident!
