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
Imagine not having the basic tools you need to be successful at your job. Many of my students can not afford to buy basic school supplies. They rely on our school's stored supplies, which are now dwindling even further with the 300 extra students we are now housing from a storm ravished school.
My ultra-energetic sixth graders are a very diverse group.
Many of them live in one of the largest public housing projects in the North America. Many of them are eager for the attention that they do not necessarily receive at home. They receive all of that and more here at school.
My Project
Students in my science class sometimes end up having to work in groups larger than I would like because of lack of basic science, as well as stationary supplies. If I were to receive the graduated cylinders I have asked for, more of my students will be able to actively participate in some of our lab activities at the same time. The chart paper and markers will allow them to share their results more effectively with class, and therefore take more pride in themselves as learners, and as teachers for their peers.
My students are really good children, who often lead really hard lives.
Donating to this project would help to make their lives a little easier. Wouldn't you love to take part in that?
Nearly all students from low‑income households
