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

Thanks to many generous donors, we have a problem. Over the past several months, my students have been the lucky recipients of donated classroom library books. These materials, in addition to notebooks and folders, are taking over our student tables that lack storage compartments.

I am fortunate to work with 30 excited and intelligent first graders.

Our school is located in an impoverished urban community. All of my students receive free lunch, and most are English Language Learners for whom Spanish is the first language. Many schools and families are facing financial difficulties, and our school community is no exception. Despite the challenges of the economy and violent neighborhood, my students come into the classroom eager to learn each day.

My Project

My students work in table groups, which enables them to work with one another. I love having these cooperative groups, but there's one problem: Our tables do not have storage space. Each child uses several books, notebooks, and folders daily, but there is not a good place to keep these materials that is neat, organized, and easily accessible. To address this problem, I am requesting a class set Clearview Book Pouches to store my students' personal reading books. These pouches will protect our classroom library books, prevent books from getting lost, and save baggies (which would otherwise hold our books). I am also requesting clipboards, baskets, and binder organizers to hold folders and notebooks students use in writing, math, and the content areas. These will make our materials easily accessible, organized, and tidy, while saving valuable instructional time.

It may sound basic, but these organizers will do wonders for our classroom.

Students will be organized, coveted materials will be kept in pristine condition, and all books and folders will be within an arm's reach, saving precious instructional time. These organizers will help make learning easier for all of my students. Thank you for your support.
