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

My school is full of vibrant, excited learners ready for new challenges each and every day! We are a preK-8th grade school, and in every grade we develop a strong classroom community to support one another.

My school is made up of students with special needs, gifted students and English language learners.

We fill our days with rigorous academics and extraordinary teachers.

My students all come from lower income families that struggle each day to make ends meet. Many of these children face poverty and violence on a daily basis that is well beyond what most of us could imagine. Yet, the students do their best to learn. We try our best to give our students a good education and an introduction to the American way of life, but with limited resources there are many things that others consider basic parts of education that we cannot provide without assistance. My school is very limited in the funds that teachers receive every year. Teachers go forward and buy their own supplies to help their students have a successful school year.

My Project

Folders, pencils, and homework planners will help keep my students organized, on task, and ready to start learning each and every day. Notebooks will ensure that my students will be ready to tackle our new Reader's Workshop program! Colored pencils will enhance their creative sides. Earbuds will make sure they can hear everything they need on the chromebooks. These supplies will help my students to have every opportunity to succeed and reach their goals.

Being able to have these needed supplies available in my classroom would give my students the opportunity to start the year off on the right track.

They will have the tools they need to succeed and strive to reach their goals. Every student deserves the opportunity for success!
