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

It is an honor this academic year to have young scholars who are eager and determined to learn. The school is classified as a Title I school. Therefore, the scholars and families lack basic essentials. Many of the scholars in my classroom have recently arrived from their native countries. The scholar's native countries consist of the following: Bangladesh, Lebanon, China, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Senegal.

My class is categorized as English as New Language.

In addition, the scholars are deficient in foundation skills (e.g. Addition, Subtraction, etc.). Many of my scholars have not had the opportunity to attend elementary school in their native countries. The scholars’ academic deficits are in the following subjects: Language, Reading, Writing, and Math.

However, despite the scholars' academic deficits, they are enthusiastic and ascertain to learn. I am dedicated to supporting scholars and families by providing school supplies (e.g. notebooks, pencils and book bags).

Finally, I support the scholars to develop self-confidence, independence and thrive to succeed academically and socially.

My Project

Scholars desperately, need notebooks and pencils since, many of the scholars lack essential basic materials. Many of the scholars are extremely poor and depend on the teachers, school and community to support them.

Scholars desperately, need erasers, pens and folders as classroom essentials; since many of these materials are requested throughout the academic year and families are unable to purchase the materials for scholars.

Scholars also need copy paper for class assignments, assessments, homework, family notices and reminders to be duplicated for the academic year.

Scholars desperately, need all the classroom materials requested. Scholars will be eternally grateful for your kind donations.
