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

My students are great kids who are often growing up in less than ideal circumstances.

They are a fabulous group of individuals that need help to ensure a wonderful elementary experience.

Many of the students come from broken homes and they witness violence in their streets. My school has many students living in poverty, a high level of students receive special education services, and English is not the first language of a large group of students. Too many days the students come to school not dressed in school uniforms that are warm enough. They wear the same short sleeved shirt every day because they do not have long sleeved shirts, sweaters, or sweatshirts to wear during the cold months. Fortunately, most students persevere through their hardships and are able to have an awesome school experience.

My Project

Our school takes pride in its appearance and the quality of education given to each child. Many times my students sit on the classroom rug during whole group instruction, centers, and when doing collaborative work. From preschool to fifth grade, our students love to sit on the colorful rugs for learning.

Unfortunately, I do not have a vacuum or mop to keep the rugs clean and the floors sanitary for the students.

The Dyson Carpet Cleaner will ensure that all fifth grade classrooms have clean and sanitary rugs for students to sit on and continue their learning. The vacuum will be used daily in the classrooms which benefits every student in the fifth grade!

Winter is here and so is sickness. I believe my students can stay healthier if they have the resources to fight the flu and common cold.

Tissues and disinfectant wipes will help to prevent the spread of colds and the flu.

The students work hard in my math class to solve challenging problems, I want to make sure they are in class every day to continue and excel in their academics.

Supplies to keep the classroom clean and help prevent illness will give my students the extra boast they need to fight the flu and cold season!
