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

I am a teacher in a low income, high poverty school district where my students are faced with many different challenges in and out the school. Besides these challenges, I am looking to provide each of them with enough appropriate tools to lead them to success. My students are hungry learners. They love spending time reading and listening to read alouds. They love to dance and puppets! Movement is a big part of our daily routine! They have a big heart and they are also kind and aware of their special peers. They always come to class with a big smile, ready to start the day, which is very inspirational! My school is located in the Mission district in San Francisco, CA.

My Project

We are thrilled to start this new school year, if everything goes well, we will be in person! My goal as a teacher is to try to make the learning approach fun and enjoyable for the students in order to help them to be successful in the classroom.

The donation to this project will help to give my students a variety of materials that the students need just to learn and keep us safe like journals, markers, paint, cleaning supplies and more.

Now with covid being part of the history we also need more than the regular classroom supplies, we need cleaning materials like cleaning wipes and hand soap also to keep us safe and healthy during this new school year.
