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

As a fifth-grade teacher, the aim is to support my students curiosity, creativity, and their willingness to learn through hands-on experiences. To help them engage in meaningful learning activities throughout the school year, our classroom is in need of essential supplies including hot glue guns, hot glue sticks, permanent markers, dry erase markers, pencils, and notebooks.

As a teacher of a year-round institution, we have a small window between the end of the current school with the complete depletion of classroom resources and the start of a new school year where all these resources will be needed to be replenished welcome my new students.

These materials will support daily instruction across all subject areas. Students will use notebooks to organize their thinking, record notes, solve math problems, and reflect on their learning. Pencils and markers are classroom necessities that help students' complete assignments, collaborate with classmates, and showcase their understanding in creative ways.

The hot glue guns and glue sticks will allow students to design and build projects that bring learning to life. Whether creating science models, engineering challenges, presentation displays, or interactive learning tools, students will have opportunities to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on activities.

The requested supplies will provide students with the tools they need to be successful every day. Notebooks will serve as personal learning journals, while pencils and markers will ensure students always have access to materials for writing, drawing, and collaborating.

The addition of hot glue guns and glue sticks will expand opportunities for project-based learning. Students learn best when they can create, build, and demonstrate their understanding in engaging ways. These materials will help transform classroom ideas into meaningful projects that strengthen learning and boost student confidence.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
