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 students are English language learners 9th graders and 10th graders. Some of my students are assimilating to a new city and a new country. They come from different origins Cape Verde, Somali, Dominican Republic, Haiti...

My students are diverse; some are new comers to Boston others may have lived here for longer.

They need your help to get started with a successful and productive school year.

My Project

This includes all the materials that will help this school year run smoothly for the students and I. Students need lots of material for the beginning of the school year and throughout the school year they need paper, binders, notebooks, graphing paper, sketch paper, pencils, erasers, scissors, highlighter, tissue paper, whiteout, calculators, color pencils, makers, 3 hole punch , hand sanitizers, masks.

These materials make organizing classwork and assignments much easier for students.

It gives students a leg up for the start of this school year. Please help me purchase resources for my classroom.

Students would benefit from these materials as open to them for their use throughout the school year. To complete group work that requires pencils, easel pads, for group work and presentations.
