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

Our school is filled with energetic Title I learners. As a math teacher, I would like to turn my students into lifelong learners through STEM. My students learn through discovery and self-exploration.

Our students are eager learners who enjoy challenging lessons in STEM and the arts.

We proudly provide our scholars with a strong academic program that includes project-based learning, use of technology in the classroom, digital learning, various reading incentive programs, and learning platforms tailored to each student's academic needs and aspirations.

My Project

My students and I are in need of basic classroom supplies for the start of school. We are always in need of pencils, colored pencils and expo markers to make learning interactive and engaging. Sharpeners, dispenser, stapler and hole puncher are necessary to keep our learning neat and orderly.

All of these supplies will support us in helping the whole student develop toward greatness.

Supplies will provide support interactive STEM lessons for our amazing fourth grade students. A laminator will be used for displaying and presenting all of our growth.
