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

I teach at a Title I school where 86% percent of my students receive free breakfast and free lunch. Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend as well. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They are kind, sweet, and want to learn. At times it is difficult for my students to maintain focus when they are challenged in their personal lives. Returning from COVID has added another challenge within the classrooms. Children will not be able to share crayons, glue sticks, and other materials. I hope with all the new changes I create a classroom where, no matter what they face, my students will love school and become lifelong learners.

My Project

Help my students with sturdy headphones for their technology. Each headphone comes with an organizational bag so I can help store them at their desks for easy convenience. This will also help with keeping their supplies germ free and help maintain a healthy environment.

The Teacher Pay Teacher gift card will allow me to purchase digital documents for students that are doing at home learning.

Teaching has become very different these past two years. Absenteeism is high due to COVID-19 and "catching up" on learning remains extremely difficult. Digital learning is one way I can help bridge the gap.
