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 students live in a high poverty neighborhood in south Philadelphia. We are an extremely diverse group - we speak 7 different languages at home, and are from many different countries! We love reading and writing, but often struggle to bring more than a pencil to school. (And sometimes not even that.)

My students are fantastic readers and writers, but can't always afford to bring in the supplies needed to make learning engaging and hands-on.

We need some supplies to let us work on projects and show our creative side, too!

My Project

As a fourth grade English Language Arts teacher, I love seeing my students grow as readers and writers. I want them to get to share their love of books and learning with our school and beyond, but we have a very limited amount of materials to create their own posters, presentations, displays, graphic novels, illustrations, etc.

My students loved to read and write, but need art materials to really make their projects shine.

Most struggle to bring a pencil to school daily, let alone replace their crayons or markers when they run out. Help us get classroom sets of art supplies to make some truly amazing stuff!

Our school has also lost its librarian, and so we can't access our school library. While I've worked hard to build a robust classroom library, we can always use more books so our 90 fourth graders can continuously find engaging things to read.
