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 third graders attend a public school in an urban district. It is a Title I school, and 100% of the students qualify for a free or reduced-price lunch. Coming from an urban district and a Title I school, my students do not have as many supplies and opportunities as students in the surrounding districts.

This year, I have 25 inquisitive and eager students, many of whom are not on grade level.

They include SPED, English Language Learners, and LTSS students, but they are always ready to learn. My students are full of energy and their creativity shines through in all of the work that they do. They soak up everything you put out.

My goal is to make their return to the classroom experience meaningful and fun while also setting high expectations and providing a safe, loving environment for all of my students, no matter their circumstances. Your donations mean more than you will ever fully understand!

My Project

Our class needs extra disposable masks for when their originals break during the day. This has happen more times then I can count in the 12 days we have been in school. Children have been out of school for quite some time at this point, and I want to make the classroom as safe as possible for my students. These extra masks will help the parents of my students feel more at ease when sending their children to school in person. The masks would help ensure that in the classroom we will be doing our best to prevent the spread of germs in our class.

The fidgets will help my students focus and stay on task.

A lot of the students are having a hard time retaining their attention and focusing for long. I have noticed that when they are given something to rub, pop or even chew on their focus is there for longer. The fidgets will help me make sure I am able to give each child their own.

It is my goal to ensure that my students are safe so that they can learn, and maximize their time in the classroom. Thank you so much for your help!
