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 a close group that gets along well. They have families that try very hard to do their best with the situations given them. Many of my students are emotionally disadvantaged and do not know how to cope with their feelings. They need someone to believe in them and encourage them to do their best in whatever they decide to accomplish in their homes, community, or school lives. Simply put, they need a cheerleader to say, "You can do it!"

My Project

Right now, my students have pouches for their worn out white boards that are breaking and falling apart.

They need something that will be easy to open and close.

Not only that, the pouch needs to be big enough to hold their supplies.

It will be great to see that every thing they need is right there and they don't need to hunt for anything. Once they can find their tools and get to work, the anxiety they feel will lessen. Then they will be ready to learn, work, and become excellent students. Please help us if you can.
