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 am first year elementary teacher at a Title I elementary school. Our school serves children from a variety of families and backgrounds along with different learning strengths and needs. My students are very diverse, and my classroom consists of the economically disadvantaged, English language learners and students with special needs. More than half of our students come from low income families. My goals are to help improve the academic achievement for all of my students and provide them with a welcoming, loving and accepting classroom environment and to meet the unique individual needs of all my students and to best help them all grow and be successful!

My Project

As a teacher, my goal is that every student be successful! In order to do to be able to achieve that, I need to provide a classroom that has the resources and materials that will be necessary and essential to their learning and providing a loving, accepting and welcoming classroom environment for my students to grow and learn in. I believe the items I am requesting will benefit my students and our classroom tremendously. These items will benefit my current students and students' future students as well. I would be so grateful for anyone who decides to bless us with a donation.
