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

In many urban communities, students are not supplied with the same tools and materials found in more affluent areas. My students are growing to be lifelong learners, they are in need of practice material and tools to help them master the new Common Core State Standards - Language Arts and Math.

My students are dedicated to their development as lifelong learners.

At our school, our students have learned that they have the power to "write the future" and they do so throughout all subject content areas. My students are beginning to learn how to participate in academic discussions and are breaking down the stereotypes and judgments that have kept them from succeeding in areas of study such as math and reading. They commit themselves to their math and ELA journals and learn to explore via inquiry processes. They are not just learning about what others have done and found, but are doing what explorers and learners do. My own resources and personal, monetary donations to their math and ELA material is no longer sufficient. They are in need of tools that will develop and elaborate their own ideas and educational endeavors.

My Project

The various resources I have requested in this project are items my students are in need of the most. The Common Core bundles that I have requested will benefit my students as well as myself. I will be able to examine these standards more closely and have physical tools to use when navigating it with my students. The practice work will provide a platform for my students to develop their own understanding of concepts as well as demonstrate their mastery. These items, as well as the other great resources I have requested, will bring inspiration and possibility for success to my deserving students. They have put in the work and have dedicated themselves to their own education. They are accountable individuals who are only lacking the tools to further develop their concept understanding of math and reading.

Your generous donations to our project will influence the lives of my students.

They will believe that they are meant to learn and grow into more than what society's limitations have set before them. Your support will be a part of the movement towards having academic achievement be attainable by all. It will be part of a larger picture, where all people can participate in academic discussions. Help my students become active voices in our society and global world.
