Celebrating 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

The students in my class attend an urban school district with limited financial resources. Most of the students receive free or reduced-price lunches. They have a range of learning abilities and come from diverse backgrounds. The typical student in my class needs activities that promote unity and teamwork. My students need ways to communicate with others in fun and engaging ways.

My students deserve an opportunity to interact and thrive in a diverse classroom that supports and promotes 21st-century standards and expectations.

My students need resources to address a variety of deficiencies in social-emotional learning as well as academic grade-level expectations. Although most cannot afford to buy the basic resources like paper, pencils, and notebooks because of financial hardships, they are eager to learn. They deserve an engaging and rigorous learning experience during a pandemic.

My Project

Students have had a challenging couple years in this pandemic. Many families do not have access to items their children need for basic health and hygiene. Students have voiced concerns over not having items like deodorant, lotion, or female hygiene products. With the constant washing of hands and sanitizing, their hands are so dry, so I've been trying to buy them lotion. With these products, kids will feel cared for, clean, and protected.

Some students experience food instability and challenges purchasing daily hygiene needs so these CARE BAGS will give them the confidence to focus on learning.

The goal is to support students to allow them to come to school less self-conscious and confident about being warm and clean! Providing students with needed self-care items promote good hygiene practices that can help support their overall wellness now and prepare them for good hygiene health later in life.
