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 Project

Being a teacher is expensive! Supplies and items that extend the learning are often expensive and sometimes unable to be funded by general school budgets. At times, we purchase supplies needed from our personal funds so that our students can engage in creative projects, kinesthetic activities, and real-world experiences. This is especially true in an urban core. We will use chart paper, markers, colored pencils, and post-it notes to increase engagement through activities such as jigsaws and gallery walks. Additionally, due to the socio-economic status of the majority of our students, we are requesting a classroom supply of paper, pencils, and pens so that we can provide them to students on as-needed basis. The bulletin board décor, hand sanitizer, and expo markers will be used to create a more welcoming and safe environment so that all of our student can just focus on learning!
