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

Most educators feel their classroom of students are the best and greatest. Although I can't argue with their opinions, I happen to think that I have the best and greatest students on this planet. There isn't a day that I don't look forward to seeing their faces and seeing them develop in knowledge and wisdom before my eyes. I may be their teacher, but they teach me so many lessons each day as well. Currently, I am educating a set of curious, friendly, and resilient sixth-grade students that are constantly excited about learning.

My students attend a Title I school in which a high percentage of the student body are first-generation immigrants.

Despite the obstacles they face on a daily basis, they are always eager to learn and never give up hope. As their teacher, I buy the majority of the materials they need to help them achieve their academic goals out of my own pocket because I want to provide them with the opportunities to learn and experience things they never imagined. I want to instill the joy that learning can bring regardless of the challenges within their own lives.

My Project

The supplies listed in within this project will support my students from the very first day of school until the last the day of their sixth grade school year. The supplies listed are items that are difficult for my school to find additional money for funding. The supplies start as small as pencils and pens for writing, markers, tape, to an electric pencil sharpener. My students will be using the supplies either while they are independently working and/or completing group work tasks. Students shouldn't have to worry about having the basic school supplies to do their work.
