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.

I teach 6th grade students at a public school in New York City. I teach two 6th grade English Language Arts classes and one Social Studies Class.

This year the school that I work at has had its budget significantly cut. The students that are coming into my classroom in the Fall are high need students and will need supplies to help them pass the New York State Exams.

To help my students pass the New York State Exams they will need a series of nonfiction books: "On The Half Pipe with Tony Hawk","On the Field with Derek Jeter", "On the Field with Peyton and Eli Manning" "Michael Jordan" In the Course with Tiger Woods", Stealing Home: The Story of Jackie Robinson",short stories: "Best Shorts" by Avi and "Baseball in April" by Gary Soto and fiction books: "The Warriors" box set and "Nancy Drew" Graphic Novels box set, as well as test prep materials that include "Building Spelling Reproducible" and "Daily Reading WarmUps". Students also need to be creative, that is why we need the flip chart markers, a class set of colored pencils, and a sharpener.

You will make it possible for my students to pass the New York State exams and move on to a bright and better future.
