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

I teach at a great school in the South Bronx where students come to school ready to learn despite their circumstances. Our school is located in a high poverty area and many of our students live in housing projects, shelters or in single parent homes. Despite some of these struggles our students see our school as their second home. They feel safe and loved by all of the staff. We are a true community of learners striving to be a little better each day.

Despite this sense of community, many of our students are unable to come to school with the supplies they need.

I will be looping to the fourth grade with my former third graders and would like them to have the same opportunities in 4th grade. We are city wide Renewal and Showcase School where we open our doors to schools in NYC to come visit and see our best practices!

My Project

When the new school year begins, I will be looping to fourth grade with my former 3rd graders and I want to provide my students with a clean, organized and germ free classroom. Most of my students are unable to purchase the supplies they need in order to learn. So it's crucial that I provide items like wipes, cleaning solution, paper towels, Kleenex, etc to allow them to have their learning needs met but also their basic health needs met.

These supplies will allow my students to have basic health and learning needs met at the start of our school year and throughout.

Students take ownership over their learning and classroom community when they are part of creating the community. Having all of these cleaning supplies will help us create a community of learners that take care of the needs of the classroom and will increase engagement and teamwork. Two essentials to learning and life.

Thank you for any donations made and I wish you a great school year as well.
