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

Our English Language Arts curriculum is very heavy in documents and my students need binders to keep their work and documents organized. My school is a Title I school and almost all of our students receive free lunch. Most students cannot afford to buy their own supplies, so it is up to me to give my students what they need to help them more easily access the new curriculum. The curriculum specifically asks for the students to have certain supplies, but I know my students will not be able to afford them.

My students need binder dividers to organize all their work for our new curriculum.

The curriculum has divided their work into sections, so I'd like the students to learn to organize their work for themselves to be able to easily access it when needed. Who knew binder dividers were so incredibly expensive? I want all my students to have the same supplies and not worry about what their families can afford. I also know that I cannot afford to purchase binder dividers for each of my 120 students.
