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 work at a Title 1 school in South Los Angeles. My students are so wonderful! Although they are from more challenging backgrounds, they come to school ready to learn every day. They are so appreciative of everything they receive. It has been such a pleasure being their teacher.

My Project

I've learned so much about my students since the beginning of this year and know how much they love art and reading.

The art supplies I have chosen will help them with their creativity!

We have a need for markers and colored pencils on almost a daily basis, so I know my students will be so grateful for a class set. The paper will also be great and durable for special art projects we do on Fridays.

Finally, my kids love reading about people who are inspirational to them! I've chosen a great variety of non-fiction books as well as books to help celebrate Black History.
