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 classroom is made up of 20 amazing learners. They come to class ready to learn despite the obstacles they face prior to stepping foot in the classroom. We are a Title I school and almost all of my students are English Language Learners. My students love coming to school because I make learning fun. My students work hard each and every day. Unfortunately, they need supplies that I can’t provide on my own. This includes extra supplies that need to be replenished throughout the year.

My Project

"Look for the bare necessities. The simple bare necessities."- The Jungle Book.

I am asking for pencils, erasers, cardstock paper, dry-erase markers, Playdoh, and tokens to reward students for positive behavior.

Every year I try and provide all of the general supplies for my classroom. This includes pencils, erasers, notebooks, and more. Unfortunately, this can get quite expensive. To try and conserve paper we use dry-erase boards daily. My students use the markers everyday so they dry out and need to be replenished often.

The Playdoh will be used throughout the year to help teach students about shapes and fractions. It will also be used as a positive reward. The tokens will be used to reward students for positive behavior. Once students have earned 6 tokens they can go to my classroom store!

Finally, I'm requesting pencils and cardstock paper. The paper will be used to make special reading and math games.

By helping to fund this project, you will be putting important supplies into the hands of children.These materials will allow my students to master skills they need to be successful lifelong learners.
