Help me give my students wet wipes, disinfecting wipes, and an assortment of healthy snacks and other resources for a clean classroom to promote overall health and wellness.
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 students attend a 3K through fifth grade elementary school in New York City. Our school is located in one of the poorest congressional districts in the nation. Many of my students live in nearby public housing or are from single-parent homes.
Many of my first grade students have special needs, are repeating a grade or are struggling academically to achieve grade-level expectations.
They need essential resources to maximize learning opportunities to ensure they do their best work every day.
My Project
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
My students are learning about the importance of daily attendance.
They know and understand that when you miss a day from school, you will miss a lot. Attendance matters! My students need wet wipes, disinfecting wipes, and hand-sanitizer to kill the germs that cause the sneezing, sniffing, and coughing that they say usually comes with the arrival of cooler weather. The disinfecting wipes will be used to wipe off headphones in our listening center, computer keyboards, tablets, and other commonly used items. My students will also have an assortment of healthy snacks to discourage filling up on snacks that contain a lot of fat, sugar, and salt.
Ah choo! That is a sound that can be heard in my classroom nearly every day. The cold and flu season can be particularly hard on my students. When my students miss a day from school, they miss a lot--attendance matters. Being marked present is an essential first-step to providing them with a quality education.
With your help, my students can use the liquid soap to learn proper hand washing techniques and have facial tissues for running noses. These resources are essential for promoting overall health and wellness--because daily attendance matters!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
