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

My diverse classroom is composed primarily of English Language Learners in a high poverty area. My students come from different academic, linguistic, and socio-cultural backgrounds. They are eager learners who need time, understanding, and a friendly environment that gives them the security and opportunity to discover themselves and their world.

Most of my students start 2nd grade without reading or writing.

Our school does not have a library, so it is in the classroom that students have the opportunity to read and listen to stories, to learn about their world, and to discover how much they can do for the future.

My Project

Some little things like electric sharpeners, dry erasers and reusable plastic pockets can make a huge difference in a classroom full of children. I want my students to face their challenges, believe in themselves, and overcome their difficulties. That is why I like to provide my students with supplies that will help them learn and use their time wisely.

I want my classroom to be an effective learning environment that encourages children to persist and try their best.

Reusable plastic pockets allow me to create different diagrams and graphic organizers for children. These diagrams and organizers support students' learning and allow them to try as many time as they need. An electric sharpener makes possible to sharp many pencils in a very short time maximizing instructional and learning time for students.

Please help me to provide my students with these helpful items. They will assist students on their daily activities during math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. Little things can make a big difference.
