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

My students could benefit greatly from receiving just the basic materials required for class every single day. These items such as pens, pencils, tape etc can allow students to participate in class. My students need writing utensils in order to succeed in my class.

As a reading and writing teacher I provide my students with a lot of writing assignments which majority of my students can't even get started because they do not have the right supplies to get through my class.

Thanks for reading a little about my class!
