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

I work in low socioeconomic school district with many hurdles that come between students and success, many students are either first generation American or born in different countries. As a teacher here, I am often the first person to expose students to the standards of an American classroom.

The struggles my students often face are lack of materials, no exposure to technology at home, and lack of awareness regarding other cultures.

I want to help them succeed, but budgeting constraints have made it difficult for me to get the bare necessities.

My Project

My students are kinesthetic learners who thrive when given hands on tools. The Wipe boards will be a great way to engage them in learning and I can use them to do a formative assessment or ticket out. The magnetic holders, staplers, and hole puncher are all ways for me to create an organization station for my students in the classroom.

The constant budget constraints have made it difficult for me to get the basic materials I need just for the classroom.

With the help of DonorsChoose, I hope to just get the basic needs for my classroom that I can also share with other teachers.
