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

As a teacher working in a school with high poverty and diverse backgrounds, I am accustomed to seeing my students struggle daily. Whether it is not having school supplies or the tools they need at home to be successful, these obstacles may prevent them from reaching their full potential.

My students are strong-willed, focused, and motivated, and they love math and science!

My students are very active and full of energy. They show me this every day​ from the moment I greet them at the door in my classroom.

I want my students to be able to reach their full potential. Sometimes I feel I can only do so much in my classroom while they are under my care. Once they go home, I cannot control how they live their lives, but I am hoping I can make a positive impact on them during our time together by giving them the tools they need to make positive choices.

My Project

I would like to give my students necessary materials to use at home during our first few months of distance learning. When students receive brand new materials that they can call their own, it gives them a sense of excitement and will positively engage them in the lessons.

The materials being supplied to the students would be necessary math and reading notebooks along with basic supplies such as pencils, notebooks, and erasers.

These supplies may seem basic to us however, to the students they are their connection to the classroom.
