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 are readers! They've become experts at choosing books that are just right for them based on interest and readability! They love to pull apart the details of their reading and, through discussion, and cobble those details back together in meaningful ways. They're a pleasure to work with.
They're seventh graders, which means they're full of urgent questions about the world that needs answers.
Part of my job is to help them learn to manage how they acquire those answers through text. We discuss ways to read so we're truly interacting with text instead of merely receiving it. Another part of my job is to provide students with easy-to-manage tools that facilitate thinking.
My Project
My students breeze through paper towels and tissues like they were born for it! We mop up our messes (and wipe our hands and faces) with paper towels, make sure noses are kept dry with (so many) tissues, and clean and disinfect all of the surfaces that so many hands touch.
It isn't right to ask parents to provide these basic supermarket paper products.
They have enough to pay for, and I won't do it this year. I'm asking for your help in ensuring that these items find their way into my classroom so that families can spend their money on their own households instead of my classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
