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 am currently a seventh grade middle school science teacher in a high needs area. My students are English Language Learners and the classroom would benefit from basic supplies including a clock, disinfecting wipes, staplers, fasteners, markers, tape, etc.

My students have to overcome many language barriers, learn the English language and required school concepts with little or no help from their parents.

Their parents are unable to help them in the educational area due to lack of knowledge and understanding of the English language as well as knowledge of the required science concepts. My students work hard and often support their mothers and fathers by running household errands and watching younger siblings. Unfortunately, another thing that my students have in common is that their families are struggling financially. Within my school the majority of the students qualify for the state's free or reduced meal program. Due to the budget cuts schools are facing, teachers in my school are no longer able to personally give each student the resources they desire. Supplying my students/classroom with these materials would be a small step but it would give us one less obstacle to overcome.

My Project

As part of the new science scope and sequence, students are required to understand the many ideas and concepts from all areas of science. I love doing hands-on activities, but my students are 12-year-old children and have a tendency to lose things. The clock will help students with work and time management. The disinfecting wipes will keep them from spreading germs. Also having everyday classroom supplies available will help make each lesson run more smoothly. Supplying my classroom with a variety of basic school supplies would be a blessing.

If you think back, one of the best things about the first day of school is seeing the bright colors around the classroom, having brand new notebooks, sharpened pencils, and a clean desk.

With your help our classroom will be ready to start off the new school year off right with these basic, necessary school supplies.
