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 class is a family of learners. I teach children with the most beautiful smiles, determination, silliness, and unwavering love. My students face intellectual, physical and emotional challenges every day but they never give up. When they can't verbally communicate, they find a way. They find a way to show how much they care.
My students possess beautiful strengths and aspire to make the world a better place.
My students require a constantly changing set of activities and curriculum in order to grow! With your help, I will create an even brighter, positive, and enriching environment to foster their growth. With this project, I am requesting additional digital resources to meet all the needs of my students. They love completing BOOM cards independently and themed crafts throughout the year. I hope to acquire a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to purchase these activities and watch my students continue to live life in full bloom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
