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

I teach 27 very energetic and enthusiastic third-grade students. They don't have a lot materialistically, but they have a ton of heart, potential, and did I mention, energy. Their families and I try very hard to provide them with the best inside and outside of school.

My students always get so excited when they are able to work together in partners or groups, and on hands-on activities.

They love to share what they know when they are exploring and eventually mastering something.

My Project

This project will provide each of my students with their own supply of the basics needed daily in the classroom. They will be able to access their own technology with the earbuds without risking the spread of any germs or illnesses.

The containers are a way to keep their supplies separate, clean, and safe from others possible germs.

Many students can't provide their own supplies and depend on sharing with other students and teachers. This project would provide each of them with what they need without worrying about sharing or depending on others.
