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

Many students, especially 9th graders, have a difficult transition into high school. My goal is to make it as easy as possible by giving them the things they need in order to succeed. Many students need the extra push to be able to charge devices or incentives in the classroom. My goals for this project are to be able to help as many students as possible by keeping the supplies in my classroom and allowing students to use what they need when they need it. I am requesting pencils, Chromebook chargers, folders, markers, candy, and a few other everyday items. Many of my students just need to know that someone wants them to work hard and cares about them and seeing these supplies they know that we have gone the extra mile for them.
