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 are the happiest kids you will ever meet! Their smiles are contagious and they light up our classroom every single day. My students are also all special needs and have many challenges they have to deal with on a daily basis. Our school is a Title 1 school in an economically disadvantaged area. Many of our students' families work very hard just to meet their basic needs. My students lack many of the sensory materials that are needed to help them make important learning gains.
My Project
All students need materials to be creative and to be able to express themselves. We want to provide our students with journals and paint so they can begin to express themselves through writing and drawing.
All children should have an opportunity in school to write and draw in a journal.
By providing our students with the these tools, we can encourage them to be life long writers. My students will love to have their own personal journals so they can imagine and create great stories of their own. Please consider helping our students prepare for the future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
