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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a “home” in other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting these supplies. I am a first year teacher and I am trying to build the a classroom environment where students will thrive. My main goal of this project is getting supplies for my students that we will use throughout the entire school year. One of my main teaching philosophies is to create a leaning environment that is hands on. Having somebody support us and provide funding will be greatly appreciated.

Students needs fuel to keep going throughout the day.

My students are in need of support and food. Having snacks in the classroom will help my students not be hungry which in return will further their education.
