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

I have a kindergarten class with 24 students, they are bright eyed and full of energy. My students are excited to come to school and learn new things everyday. Our school is located in the south side of Los Angeles, and we are a Title I school where all of our students qualify for free lunch. My students welcome all and every single donation that we receive, and we need each and everything we can get. My students need materials to stay engaged and have the right learning conditions to maximize engagement in the classroom.

My Project

For our project I am requesting various materials such as card stock, vellum, envelopes and double sided tape so that my students can complete art projects to be able to learn about saving our environment through recycling. With these materials my students will be able to engage in lessons to learn and help our environment.

We will be able to have hands on learning, I'm planning on having my students use the card stock and vellum paper to make posters to put around our school to encourage all students to reuse, reduce, and recycle.

We will use the double sided tape to put up our posters. This way our school will be more aware of the recycling project. We would like for everyone at our school to be involved of the importance of recycling.
