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 Project

With spring break over and state testing starting, many of my students are slowly losing their classroom motivation. As a middle school Spanish Teacher I see many of my coming into class unmotivated. I try and do the absolute best I can to keep them engaged during lessons. I know that with your help, I can give as well as offer my students fun items. All kids enjoy a snack, as well as stickers. All items on the list are for my students use and enjoyment. Offering them a cozy chair to sit in as an option for class or during their lunch period. Will remind them that the space they are walking into is not only fun but a classroom that tries to fill their needs through snacks and supplies. Since many of my students come from low-income families, I don't want the reason of low-income to stop them from having great things that they deserve. Kids are very well aware of their surroundings. Adding new decorations to the classroom space will be appreciated by students. As the warmer beautiful days come upon us, I want to make sure all my students have the basic essentials. Being able to gift my students any of these essentials is not only amazing but reminds them that they are special, needed, enough, and wanted as members in our class.
