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

The best way to describe our students would be resilient. Our students push through all obstacles to come out on top. Our community is mostly made of low-income and/or migrant families. This does not stop our students. They persevere through any difficulties they may have at home to come to school and do their best.

My students are individuals, they are unique, they are the only one of their kind.

Despite our students' struggles, our school's scores last year were among the highest in the city. Our fifth graders this year are truly a special group of students. They came in this school year determined to set the bar higher for incoming classes. They work hard every day, ask questions, explore, research, and learn to become better.

We are indeed a family in our school and we try to make sure that anyone who comes into our school feels as though they are a part of that family. Our students are welcoming and kind. They strive to become the citizens we hope will one day run our country.

My Project

Every year students spend 180 days preparing themselves for the future. We give them as much information as we can on a daily basis and hope that they retain and use what they learn in class.

Part of the school year always consists of mandated state standardized testing.

While we do not teach to the test, we do need to make sure that our students are prepared, relaxed, and ready to to pass it. It is our hope to provide them with extra materials and supplies to make the process engaging and fun.

We are asking for 2 sets of games to help in their areas of highest needs, vocabulary and science, chart paper for anchor charts, and expo markers to make their learning fun and colorful! Please help us reach our goal!
