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

The school I teach at is a Title I school with a lower socioeconomic background. My students tend to struggle with finances and a lot of times have issues with purchasing their supplies. By the middle of the school year we go through most of our initial supplies, in which I am having to spend quite a bit of my own money to refurnish supplies for my classrooms. Now that we have extra technology devices I feel as if supplies will be more beneficial than laptops.

My Project

I have included items that will help to benefit my students until the end of the school year. In my project you will see miscellaneous school supplies that we tend to go through quickly along with supplies for reading intervention. My original project was the technology project but with the addition of Chromebooks from our school, I feel as if school supplies are way more beneficial. My students and their parents know how hard I work for my students and appreciate everything that I do for them. I appreciate you helping me out with my project.
