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

My students are energetic 7-9 year old kids with a thirst for learning. Some of them are lifelong Richmond kids, while others are immigrants adapting to a new language and culture. They amaze me every day with curiosity and positivity.

I teach in a high-poverty urban school, but do not see my kids as statistics.

They are resilient despite hardship. When we read Harry the Dirty Dog, I was amazed. They asked, "Did you ever run away? Why'd you go back?" These kids deserve an education that matches their spirit, but need an organized, calm space where they can thrive.

My Project

My kids need basic supplies! The few crayons we had in September are long gone. Kids need coloring supplies that reflect their skin tones. Dry erase supplies are frighteningly low before winter break. We need reusable materials for writing and math practice!

Every minute with students is precious - we can't waste any more time scrounging for supplies.

Without workbooks, I copy all assignments. But copy paper requires a long walk to the office, then to another trailer, at which point my planning time is gone. Keeping my classroom stocked up on paper, wipes, and journals will give me so much more time for instructional planning.

Every teacher knows the headaches that come with "I don't have a pencil" or "All the markers are dried up." Help me end this struggle. Let's give all kids the supplies they need in 2nd grade!
