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

I love my students so I want to make a difference in their lives. When a student comes through my door, they become one of my kids. I want to push them to their full potential and watch them succeed. I grew up in the neighborhood where I now teach. I want to be that role model for them. My students come from the inner city and are economically disadvantaged however, I teach them to have that grit and follow their dreams with endless possibilities.

What makes my classroom so special is they get to take journeys to different places, meet heroes and historical people, and gain so much knowledge through literature.

Initially, reading is usually their last choice as a favorite subject. However, by the end of the semester, the students have a change of heart and fall in love with reading. I always tell my students that “Readers are leaders and reading is the foundation of academic success.”

My Project

We urgently need Lysol wipes and sprays to disinfect our classroom daily and in between rotations so our students will not get sick. Prevention is the key.

This will make a tremendous difference in our students' learning because attendance matters, if our students are at school they are learning.

The hand sanitizer will make sure that their hands are germ free and the tissues are for their little noses when they are sneezing or coughing.

In addition, our classroom needs highlighters for our content classes for reading, math, science, social studies, and language arts so they can highlight important clues words in their text. The question is the key to the answer so we have trained our students to highlight important information. The fifth grade team and our scholars would greatly appreciate your donation in contributing to their learning. Keep us in school healthy!
