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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am the resource teacher at our school. My students come from a mix of cultural backgrounds, and we are constantly learning from each other. We have an influx of newcomers from Southern America. The diversity of our school is increasing and with that, our opportunities to learn from each other and to help each other.

Help me give my students waters and snacks.

My students have requested popcorn and waters. Refilling our in class pantry will help my students in need so that they do not have to worry about not having the items they need to be successful. This will allow them to stay focused and on task instead of constantly having to worry about their needs not being met. I want all of my students to be successful. Thank you for all of your support!
