Keepin' Us Clean

My students need tissues, hand sanitizer, and paper towels to stay clean and healthy. We do not have any of these items at this point in the year. They are sorely needed.

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 an enthusiastic, imaginative group of fourth graders. They are living in an inner-city community. Many are living in shelters. Some are English Language Learners and others have an Individualized Educational Plan. There are many students who have repeated a grade. Most face challenges both inside and outside of school on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, they love learning. They work hard every day in school and at home. They work with classmates to problem solve. They have goals and are working hard to achieve them.

My Project

My students need to keep their hands clean and dry. They also need to be able to blow and wipe their noses.

Staying germ free is important.

Students need to stay healthy in order to attend school regularly. While we did have many of these supplies donated by parents and teachers at the beginning of school, we now have none left.

We have a snack every day at school, and now it is difficult to clean our hands before we eat. Students also often have to leave the room to use toilet paper to blow their nose. Having natural hand sanitizer, paper towels, and tissues always available would be enormously helpful.
