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

My 1st Grade Scholars are my Super Heroes! Among the many challenges that they face, they have proven their resilience and remain optimistic and are excited to come to school each day.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically—Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education”, Martin Luther King.

My First Grade Scholars enjoy coming to school each day and they are eager to learn and if you took one step into our classroom, you can see their curiosity that drives them naturally.

My students attend a Title I school. More than 80% receive free lunch and free breakfast is offered to each student. As their Bilingual Education Teacher, I am their voice and will always advocate to close the learning gap and help my students succeed despite the low socio-economic school population​. Their creativity, drive for knowledge, and determination to overcome all obstacles is why they deserve much more than what they have.

These donations will further inspire my First Grade Scholars to do well in their day to day learning experiences as well as motivate them to intensify their learning and discovery through the sensory light table and desk through hands-on learning to explore various math concepts with the math manipulatives provided. The students will also be engaged with the science readers provided and the translucent pattern blocks so they can make endless S.T.E.A.M designs and creations unfold right before their eyes. The much needed storage and desk supplies will house these math and science resources for our classroom so they can last for future 1st grade scientists in our classroom for years to come.
