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 walk into my classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I teach at a Title I school in Bronx, New York where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of my students receive backpacks with supplies in the beginning of the school year, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families.
Our school serves students in pre-k through fifth grades and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers and a safe learning environment.
Our goal is to prepare our students for success in middle school, high school and college. However, there are times when we do not have the supplies we need.
My Project
Our classroom is lacking supplies that help spread germs. As a teacher, I want to see my students in school everyday ready to learn. However, there are many times when they are absent for several days in a row because they have the flu or a cold. These paper towels, hand soaps/sanitizers and tissues will help to create a healthy classroom environment.
Class 401, is also in need of pencils, dry erase markers, crayons and a pencil sharpener because we have a very limited amount of these essential tools.
These types of writing materials are crucial to an effective classroom. in addition, these materials are constantly being utilized which makes it harder for a teacher to keep up with the demand. Therefore, a small donation of these items will go a long way.
Lastly, I have included plates, cups and utensils because often times we have celebrations for student achievements in and out of the classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
