Celebrating 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 United States History at a Middle School in Dallas ISD. 96% of my students are economically disadvantaged and speak English as a second language. Yet, they still come to school everyday with the hopes of bettering themselves.
As a teacher I love what I do, but at times its is hard because the funding is not there.
Buying pencils, pens, paper, etc.. really adds up. I justify it by seeing it as an investment in their future.
My Project
I am asking for three cases of copy paper, 3 gross of pre-sharpened No. 2 Pencils,21 canisters of disinfecting wipes, 3 packs of Dry Erase Markers, Ballpoint Pens, and a Battery Pencil Sharpener. By having these basic supplies I will be able to ensure that those students who show up to school will have everything they need to have when it comes to learning.
We take a lot of notes in my U.S.
History class, and I use a lot of paper because I print off guided notes for my students because a majority of them are English Language Learners. 96% of my students are economically disadvantaged, so I can see why they have a hard time showing up with the basic supplies. I along with my students would greatly appreciate any help you can give us.
