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

My class is made up of English Language Learners, general education students and students with disabilities. Even with their various learning challenges and language challenges, my students never fail to exceed my expectations, which as a teacher is always humbling. These incredible learners deserve to have the supplies they need.

“Teaching children is an accomplishment; Getting children excited about learning is an achievement.” –Robert John Meehan.

My first graders are very enthusiastic and excited learners. They just need some additional tools to get them on their way to learning.

My Project

Dry erase pockets will help my students with their literacy and math centers. We are currently working on increasing our fluency of high-frequency words and addition facts. Many of our centers need these pockets. Plus the kids love to write on them with their dry erase markers!

Many of them come from homes that cannot afford to provide these basic school supplies.

Items such as the magnetic letters are to help my struggling learners by providing a tactile, engaging way to learn their high-frequency words.

My students come from difficult backgrounds, whether that be financially or English not being their first language; even with that said, my students continue to pursue excellence in the classroom and want to learn. These supplies are essential to that process and I can no longer financially afford to provide them. These supplies would mean academic success for my students!
