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

Lively, energetic, and kind are three words I would use to describe our young learners. Every day, they do their best to achieve all that they can. Our students desperately want to be actively involved in what they do in the classroom.

Living in a large city can be difficult for many young children.

My young learners live close to the downtown area in our city. They go to a Title I school where all students receive free breakfast and lunch daily. Their basic food needs, except for dinner, are taken care of, but now they need something to sustain their minds.

My Project

Paper. I so wish it were not needed in today's society. However, it is. During Covid all students were given laptops. For this reason, we should be able to use Google Drive for assignments and not need to print on paper what we can do on the computer.

Students leave laptops at home and then we need paper once again.

Please help me deliver white and colored paper options to my students. This paper will be used for printed test, differentiated learning, to print pages for student who left computers at home, and finally for students to print out projects they have created.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Ms. Potero
