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 come from a low income area where supplies are extremely limited. I have been buying my students various supplies through out the school year. supplying my students with their school needs becomes very challenging. Having school supplies will enhance learning and motivate students.

My students are wonderful, growing children who deserve a quality education.

With limited funding my students lack supplies to enhance their learning. My students come from a low socio-economic environment. My students are bright and eager to learn. With classroom supplies, they will be able to progress and have a successful learning school year.

My Project

I am requesting paint supplies to enhance and motivate my students learning. My school district does not offer art class. I want my students to be able to feel creative. Also I want to help build up their self esteem through creativity while working with other students. I would like my students to have supplies while learning. I am requesting a set of daily reading comprehension activities for this purpose. Since I know that it is a real struggle for some parents to provide supplies for their children.

My students are a very important part of my life.

I want my students to have opportunities to grow and learn and become successful. Helping my class with supplies will help to motivate their learning.
