Celebrating 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

My students are primarily from low-income families. They come from a variety of backgrounds. My students are thoughtful and want to work hard and be ready for school every day.Many of my students have become much more comphertable typing out their work in these cases they need to be able to print. I co-teach History and push in support in many of their general ed classes. Many of our students lack the means to buy new school supplies again. I want to make sure that my students can focus on school and what they are learning, and not if they will have enough supplies.
