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 Project

In our fourth-grade classroom at Jefferson, we are committed to ensuring that every student has the best possible environment for learning and growth. To achieve this, we need your support in three crucial areas:

Snacks for Students:

Many of our students come to school without a snack, which can affect their focus and energy levels throughout the day. Having a reliable supply of nutritious snacks will ensure that no student goes hungry and everyone can maintain the energy needed for optimal learning and participation.

A Clean Classroom:

A clean, germ-free classroom is essential for the health and well-being of our students. By providing supplies such as disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, and air purifiers, we can reduce the spread of bacteria and create a safer, more hygienic environment. This is especially important as we work to minimize the impact of illnesses on our students' attendance and performance.

Organized and Spacious Learning:

Anchor charts are vital teaching tools that help reinforce key concepts and skills. However, without proper storage, they can clutter the classroom and create a disorganized learning space. With your support, we can obtain storage solutions that keep these charts accessible and organized without overwhelming our classroom. This will help maintain a spacious and efficient learning environment where students can easily access and refer to the charts when needed.

Your generous contributions will make a significant difference in the daily lives of our students. By supporting our snack program, helping maintain a clean classroom, and providing storage for our learning materials, you are directly enhancing the quality of education and well-being for every child in our class.

Thank you for considering our project. Together, we can create a nurturing and effective learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
