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

My students come from a low-income neighborhood where EVERY child receives a free breakfast AND lunch at school. The school I teach at is a Title I school in Gardena, California. There are students from so many varied backgrounds; it's wonderful to see.

They are eager learners who are our future.

I go to work each day and see the young faces of future doctors, lawyers, authors, military servicemen, ​and women, perhaps even a future president of the United States!

My Project

Each classroom is given only two reams of white copy paper for the year. With 30 students, that doesn’t go far at all. I end up buying much paper and MANY other school supplies for my students. I just can’t afford it anymore.

Copy paper will allow them to complete work and show off their talents!!

They will be able to make charts, outlines, plus so much more! The students's work will be showcased on the walls/bulletin boards in my classroom to show parents, other staff members, etc. their accomplishments. I feel that this will make the students work harder and be proud of their endeavors!
