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 greet my students every day with a smile and a good morning. Despite many of my students facing adversities in their lives, they arrive at school eager to learn, explore, and grow. I believe they all have something special to contribute to my classroom.

In my classroom, my students are emergent readers, writers, problem-solvers, scientist, artists, and so much more.

Our school servers a majority of low-income students. It provides free meals to all students. Sadly, some families struggle to provide the basic necessities that the students need.

My Project

Students will use the pencils to write stories and solve math problems. Dry-erase markers will be used during guided reading and writing. Index cards will be used as high frequency word flash cards during guided reading.

New art supplies will allow students to explore their creativity.

The school day is never more fun than when it's a messy day.

The paint, construction, paper, and glue will enhance student engagement, learning, and creativity. The children will use the paint, construction paper, and glue for many projects to come!

As a new teacher, my classroom budget has been exhausted since before the first week of school. We are truly thankful for your generous donations.
