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

Hello, my name is Mrs.Chavez, and I am a fourth and fifth-grade teacher seeking support to help my students. All my students come to class ready to learn something new and to enhance previous skills or lessons. Our school is a free public school, and most of our students come from low socioeconomic status. In addition, we are a Title I school which means that we provide free meal plans to support our families needs. My classroom consists of wonderful African-American and Latino students who come to school with a beautiful smile even with their challenges. This has been a challenging school year and with your support, we will be able to foster a safe and successful school year.

My Project

This project consists of a variety of things that will support my students' learning. We are running low on art supplies and need your support. Art supplies that are being requested include a class set of color pencils. Shades of Paper is skin tone color paper that represents my students. A laminator will be used to laminate and make our projects look more vividly and neat. Other items like an obstacle course will also be used to support physical education sports and education. All the resources will support all of my students current needs as we are running low on some items. In addition, this project will also include other items necessary for our classroom environment. Such as double sided tape, this resource is used during art or for our classroom bulletin.
