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

Be respectful! Be responsible! Be safe! Be Kind! These 4 expectations are posted throughout our school. All students are held to this standard, but some are still experiencing bullying. My students are continuing to implement an Anti-Bullying program so ALL students feel safe and respected.

I teach in a Title I school with 96% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch program in an urban neighborhood.

My students are amazing thinkers with great potential, but they are growing up in an area of high poverty and high crime. The school we spend our days in is filled with caring teachers who put their heart and soul into creating learning experiences for all students that will help them each reach their full potential. As a teacher here, we often spend large amounts of our personal money buying materials, including books, for our classrooms.

My Project

The Townsend Press book "Bullying in Schools" will be used in the extension of our school-wide anti-bullying program! We will be adding more take home packs to our lending library with the book, along with activities to engage families in anti-bullying conversations at home. Students will share the message of respect and kindness with their family members. The wireless headphones and batteries will be used in our literacy instruction to allow students to listen to audio books and expand their reading experiences. Finally, the additional books will enhance our classroom library.

Please help my students prevent bullying and expand their literacy experiences!

These resources could have a very powerful impact on an inner-city school!! By supporting our project you are helping us change the future forever!
