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

Our school is a Title One school, which means that the majority of the students are low-income students. We teach student that are challenged with various Learning Disabilities in an integrated setting. A great number of our students are new to the country and are learning English as a Second Language. As new immigrants, they struggle to adjust to our culture, system and learning our language.

We need to provide basic materials to our students.

Please consider donating to help our class build on a strong foundation to reach their academic goals.

My Project

These items will make a big difference in our classroom. When we get these basic items we can stop worrying about materials and focus on achieving our academic goals. Let me tell you what will be done with the items I purchase. We will use the dots to write our goals as well as inspirational messages. We will use our markers to write on the dots. We will use our binders to store our work. We will use our pencils to write.

We hope you will help us to achieve our goals.

Every little step forward takes us closer to our goals.
