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 teach at a great school in the South Bronx where students come to school ready to learn despite their circumstances. Our school is located in a high poverty area and many of our students live in housing projects, shelters or in single parent homes. Despite some of these struggles our students see our school as their second home. They feel safe and loved by all of the staff. We are a true community of learners striving to be a little better each day. Purchasing new school supplies for a brand new school year is fun and exciting.
Unfortunately, many of the families at my school are unable to purchase all the supplies requested by teachers because they can't afford them or lack the access to these supplies.
I want to relieve any stress from students and their families that can't afford school supplies and keep their focus on learning. They shouldn't come to school worrying about things like post its, markers, pencils or paper.

My project allows my students to begin the school year with the supplies they will need to enhance our units of study and help them stay organized.
In addition to help keep our classroom tidy and clean. Some of the materials I requested will help enhance our units of study. For example, we use post its to jot down ideas, tricky words, and questions we have about the books we are reading. We also will use the paper to create and keep mini anchor charts for each unit in our homework folders for home use. We will use the shelf to keep all of our folders, notebooks and materials organized and in one central area!
This project will allow us to start school with everything we need for a productive, fun and organized!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
