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 sixth-grade superstars are always eager to learn. They love projects and activities that are fun and educational at the same time. They love to have fun as they learn. I want to make sure that in my classroom, students always have all the necessary materials to apply to their learning. Every child deserves a quality education without limitations.

Most of my students come from a low socio-economic background.

Students have limited access to resources such as technology or other materials to create or complete projects. I would love for all of my sixth-grade students to create wonderful projects without the worry of not having the necessary materials to complete their work. They can create beautiful pieces of art. Thanks in advance for investing in public education and essentially, the future of our nation.

My Project

My students are in need of materials that will help them stay active and healthy at the same time.

I am kindly requesting soccer balls, so students can stay active during lunch and PE class.

My students love to be active but in order to do so , we need these materials. Staying active and exercising the body is very important. My students love to play sports and compete against each other. Thanks in advance for your help in making this project a reality! My students will be so excited.
