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 Students

My students are experiencing school for the first time and always have joy in their eye when they walk into the classroom; their joy may be teary-eyed for leaving their parent for the first time, or pure excitement in their step into growing up just a little bit more. My goal for each child is to help them to find a love of learning at a young age. I strive build a community within our classroom where every child feels safe and excepted in order to grow, learn and become the best that they can be! I also want to teach my students to dream and know that the sky's the limit when it comes to what they can achieve. My students are in a school with 100% free breakfast and lunch, many of the families I serve are living below the poverty line and often need way more assistance than I can offer.

My Project

I am requesting supplies for my students to explore their future occupations. The requested items are all Community Helper activities that will allow the students to use their imagination and inspire them to become what they dream!

When I first asked my students what they wanted to do when they grew up, the answers were alarming!

I then realized that many of my students had not been exposed to a variety of occupations. This was a wake up call! I knew it was up to me to give them the opportunity to explore more Community Helper Occupations. Unfortunately, due to covid we are not able to use many of the original materials that are commonly used to teach this area. Items such as cloth costumes, wooden manipulatives and puppets are not allowed at this time. So, I am requesting items that are plastic, washable, sanitizable and durable! These items will not only help students in my classroom this year but reach my future students for many years to come!

Thank you for helping me build imaginations and launching my students into promising members of the community!
