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

I'm grateful to have the opportunity to request a donation for school supplies, learning materials, and office materials for my continued services at our elementary school. The struggle to communicate with others with ease and clarity is frustrating for both parents and peers. Children are a hope for an expectant future, and they deserve the ability to communicate, interact, and share their knowledge, ideas and feelings via verbal and/or nonverbal modes.

The requested materials and supplies can help give students opportunities to learn, explore, and experiment.

I work at a Title I school where students get free breakfast and lunch during the week and weekend backpacks loaded with food to help them make it through the weekend. Many of the students are raised by single parents or grandparents, and many of these caregivers lost their employment due to the pandemic.

Your funds will provide these kids with the opportunities to use markers, crayons, concepts posters, stickers, and magnetic sorting educational games which, otherwise, they will be unable to afford. My students have delays in these areas and IEPs with goals that address these delays.

The NV Academic Standards being targeted include: RL3.1, RL3.9, RI3.9, RF3.3, RL.5.1, RL.5.4, RL.5.6, L.3.1, L.3.3, L.3.4, RL.4.2, L.4.1, L.4.3, L.4.4, L.4.5, L.5.1, L.5.1c, L.5.1d, L.5.2, L.5.4, and L.5.5. These standards are aligned with my students' IEP goals/benchmarks and focus on speaking/listening, reading foundation, informational text, literature, and language standards.
