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
I am teaching a lovely group of ESOL and Non-ESOL first grade students in a Title 1 school who are eager to learn, grow, and blossom. I have the good fortune of touching students’ lives every day and I like to see their faces light up with smiles whenever they receive treats and gifts.
My goal again this year is to help students truly understand that although we are different on the outside, we are the same on the inside.
For the December holidays, I wish to give my students gift bags that will be filled with different treats that will bring the same joy to all. I am kindly asking the DonorsChoose community to help me bring my project to life by donating to my classroom.
The book “We’re the Same, We’re Different” is a delightful book that will help students to improve their reading skills and understand the concept as they interact in school and in the community and honor each other’s uniqueness.
The different items that will go into each gift bag will also help them to understand that we’re all the same because we get those same warm fuzzy feelings when others bring joy to us.
I am purposeful with the request of the brown bags because my students and I have a “tan” skin color and students will decorate their bags in their own special and unique way. This will once again demonstrate the concept of same and different.
I thank you in advance for your generous donation to my fabulous first grade students! Together, we will multiply their joy about being same and different.
More than half of students from low‑income households
