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

Someone once said, "Let us explore the world and create some wonderful things while you are exploring."

My goal this school year is to give my students lots of opportunities to explore and create wonderful things.

The kids at our school are kindergarten through fifth-grade students, and most of these students are English language learners. All of our students are enthusiastic learners who, regardless of the obstacles they may face at home, come to school with a thirst for knowledge and the urge to try and experience new things every day.

My Project

Many of my students come in the first day of school with nothing. No folders, no pencils, no supplies. My goal with this grant is to stock my shelves for those kids.

We use folders for each section in my consumable textbook, so the folders provide a place to store those pages.

Without them, the students end up crushing the pages in the bottom of a backpack or losing them all together.

The glue sticks, scissors and colored pencils will be used in my class for daily task in our interactive notebooks. I use many foldables and science doodles for my teaching strategies and these items make it so everyone has the right tools for the job!
