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 classroom is filled with voices discovering and learning. Hands on learning and communicating is what you will find my students doing! They are always challenged and are eager to learn more every day! "The more you read the more things you know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go!

I teach first grade in the oldest school building in a large city in Pennsylvania.

Our school population is 100% economically disadvantaged and 40% English Language Learners. All students get free breakfast and lunch. Our students come from different countries all over the world including Nepal, Burma, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Mexico, Central America, Laos and Philadelphia. Our school provides a welcoming, safe and encouraging environment for our students, families and staff. Although most of the parents do not speak English, they are very involved in their child's academics. We use a variety of resources to communicate with the families of the students so that each child can succeed in school. Our families aspire to succeed and achieve their goal of living the American Dream.

My Project

With these resources, students will be able to practice their letters and sight words with partners using the key rings. Struggling and English Language Learners learn greatly through visuals, and with the ink, paper and laminating pages, I can print pictures and visuals in colored ink. Students will use the dry erase markers to write on laminated sheets and white boards so that can be easily reused.

Your donations will directly provide basic classroom supplies that will greatly help my students learn!

This will help my students be organized and neat in which will help make them successful and resourceful learners!
