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 Project

Each day, my students enter the classroom eager to learn, explore, and grow. They are bright, curious, and hardworking, but sometimes, the lack of basic supplies makes learning more difficult. That’s why I am seeking support for dry-erase markers, anchor chart paper, and colorful numbers. These items may seem small but essential tools that can have a big impact on their education.

Imagine a student excitedly raising their hand to solve a math problem, only to realize they don’t have a working dry-erase marker.

Dry-erase markers encourage participation, giving students a way to solve problems, share ideas, and engage in discussions. These markers have a removable eraser cap which will be practical, convenient, and less likely to be loss during the school day. The lined anchor chart paper will be used to help us create visual learning aids that reinforce key concepts, vocabulary words, and math problems allowing students to reference them throughout the year. The colorful numbers can help in a variety of ways-floor markers, table numbers, and organized cubbies. As a floor sticker, it will help students quickly find the corresponding position in class, making it easy to spot where they should be lining up and who has lined up.

My students are special—they come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique experiences and perspectives. Some face challenges beyond the classroom, yet they show up every day ready to learn. I want to ensure that every child has the tools they need to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.

With these supplies, I can create a space where learning thrives, participation is encouraged, and no student is left behind. Your support will help provide my students with the resources they need to grow, one sticker, one marker, and one chart at a time.
