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 at a Title I school where 100% of the students receive free lunch in a low-income area. Despite the many challenges they face, my students come to school each and every day eager to explore new things. As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, I have students who are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Our building becomes a safe place for them to land.

My students are full of fun, full of affection, and full of curiosity.

Together, we work hard every day on becoming great lifelong scholars. Students in my classroom also strive to be good citizens and good friends. As we continue to press towards this high mark of excellence, we need many resources to facilitate their learning experience.

My Project

The materials and supplies that we are asking you is going to make my classroom look clean and germ-free. My students are provided free breakfast and snack in the classroom and that makes the floor dirty. Sometimes there are spills and have to be cleaned up with brown paper towels. This leaves the floor sticky and can be dangerous. After a while the classroom smells and is very unhygienic.

with your help and supplies we will mop and sweep the floor to look like home.

Such environment is encouraging for the students.
