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 currently have a group of 20 fabulous Second Graders in a dual language classroom. They live in a low income, high poverty stricken inner city community in northern New Jersey. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom due to their socioeconomic status and their varying linguistic abilities. Despite this, they all come to school every day ready, willing and excited to learn! They tackle challenges and strive to do their best. They are resilient, respectful, and hardworking students.

My Project

We are in need of supplies such as band aids, hand soap, hand sanitizer, and wipes. These materials will ensure that our desks, hands, tables and chairs are clean and germ free. We have breakfast in the classroom first thing in the morning. Regardless of how careful we are, spills are sure to happen and they happen frequently. We will use these supplies to clean, sanitize, and maintain our room. The products will not only help to clean and sanitize our work spaces, they will also help to cut down on germs! We are also in need of band-aids. Frequently, students come in needing a band aid for a "boo boo". Instead of wasting valuable instructional time going to the nurse, having band aids in the classroom will alleviate this problem.

These supplies will ensure that as we begin each new day, we are clean, safe, germ free and ready to learn.
