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

We are part of a larger school that celebrates inclusion. I teach in a shared classroom consisting of 4 sixth graders and 8 seventh and eighth graders. As my students make gains in my classroom, they participate part of the day with their typically developing peers. My classroom is about building skills to make gains in ELA while being supported in other content areas throughout the day. The work we do in this classroom is based on building relationships and accessing general education content in various ways.

My Project

Students shouldn't have to worry about having access to supplies and basic hygiene products. By providing the basics for school and home use, students can focus on their academic goals and being kids. My goal is to create a classroom where students feel cared for by providing flexible seating for working comfortably, fidgets for brain breaks, basic supplies for success, and hygiene products for self care and confidence. By purchasing from this list of basic supplies you are helping me provide equity in education by ensuring my students have the necessary tools to be successful. Your contribution will help my students be at their best every day!
