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 Project

Middle school is a highly formative time in a child's life. Middle school students are constantly learning about themselves, others, and the world in which they live. During this period of rapid growth, the learning needs of each child vary greatly.

My middle school students are energetic, enthusiastic, and empathetic.

They need a diverse learning environment and a range of supplies to allow them to develop both academically and socially. Our school serves students from the city and surrounding towns which means our student population is diverse and robust. Additionally, students require a variety of supports to be successful in the classroom.

While this project may seem simple, the supplies you would be helping provide will be used daily. Pencils, paper, erasers, and rulers will become part of our communal supplies, allowing all students to have equal and equitable access to basics. These items will be used on a daily basis as students take notes, create posters, and solve problems. The brightly colored paper will allow me to create games, scavenger hunts, escape rooms, and other engaging learning activities.
