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 wonderful students are energetic five year olds who love to learn about the world around them! Their diversity inspires me everyday, as over half of my students speak Spanish, Arabic or Amharic at home. My students attend an urban school in Maryland, and are faced with conditions of the highest levels of poverty. Despite this, everyday they work together to learn how to read, write and do complex math. They explore the world together and learn new vocabulary words and how to interact with one another. Most importantly, they have fun and enjoy learning and school to the fullest extent.

My Project

My students will be entering Kindergarten in August. We often ask families to supply basic materials, like soap and paper towels. I do not want to ask my students' families to supply the materials that their students deserve to have and that they need to have in order to complete a school day. By donating to my project, you will help my young learners receive basic school supplies like crayons, pencils and glue sticks, so that they may engage in fun learning activities all year long. These materials, such as the construction paper, will also help my students share their creative sides as they direct their own learning through important arts integration activities.
