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

The students come from all parts of our city and bring with them the experiences of their families, homes, neighborhoods, and the greater community.

Sometimes, these things enhance our learning and make it a richer experience for everyone. Other times this brings chaos and conflict. Whatever the students come with, we work together to be a classroom community of learners moving forward together to achieve success.

My Project

The students who attend my high-poverty school face daily challenges in meeting their basic needs. It is my hope that access to the items in this project will help meet the needs of students so that they are able to better engage in their education.

My Project

The materials that I am requesting for my students will give them the opportunity for a fresh start each school day, in addition to ahead start at the beginning of the school year.

One of the biggest struggles my students face is being organized and prepared each class session.

The color coded folders and notebooks will be housed in our class therefore, reducing the chances of students losing or misplacing their supplies.

Also, providing these folders and notebooks to our students will guarantee a prompted start to instruction because students often have difficulties affording and providing all the supplies required for school.
