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

My students love to achieve their goals daily! They put in hard work. We like to celebrate our successes and have built a great relationship. We are all on one accord as a team. I would love to ensure they have snacks and of course the basic materials that will ensure their success. My students are teenagers who are eager to learn but need simple things.

Necessities like pencils have become gold in my classroom.

These tools (pencils, white boards, dry erase markers, Lysol wipes and tasty goodies) will grow my students mentally and physically. Growing in 6th grade is critical. Will you be part of their growth?
