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 Project

My students are joyful, honest, and very funny! They are excited to learn and want to do their best for themselves and their families. They are generous and often want to take home any prizes or treats to share with siblings. Many of my students' families have traveled to America for a better education for their children to reach their dreams! Their journey begins now. Our school is a neighborhood school where families help one another.

Remember the excitement of shopping for new school supplies?

You would take your list and search for the coolest items. You couldn't wait to start your new adventures at school. I want my students to feel that same excitement! We do not send home a list of supplies students need at my school. Many families work two jobs and do not need the added expense of supplies.

I want my students to walk into first grade on the first day of school and see beautiful skin-tone crayons, so they can draw beautiful pictures of their families! I want them to open their box and inhale the delicious smell of new pencils and crayons. The beautiful pocket chair organizers will fit perfectly on their chairs and keep all their supplies organized and within easy reach.

They will feel a sense of plenty because there will be enough materials for everyone. These essential school supplies will make a huge difference in each child's school day! Students will be able to express themselves through drawing and illustrating their daily writing pieces. Your generous gift will have a great impact on increasing student writing motivation! Ideas are what spark writers and if students have the material to draw what they are thinking, the writing will follow!
