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 students are from a low socioeconomic background and have limited resources to use both in and out school. At the same time, my class is full of eager learners who enjoy experiencing new opportunities and using new technology in order to learn. Our school resources are limited and we are not provided with all necessary materials at all times because of the budget. These students are deserving of extra materials that are not provided by the school. Many of the materials and supplies needed for the classroom and students are bought by us, the teachers. Many of my students try very hard and are committed to their education; by donating to their cause it would help them to be successful learners.

My Project

We live in a diverse world and the books that are in a classroom should also be diverse and mirror the lives of the students! I would like to give each student a book that has a positive message and they can see themselves. I would also like each child to have their own crayons colors they usually use as well as skin color crayons so they can make the pictures look like themselves and people they love and care about.

Seeing ourselves in a positive way helps motivate us to do BIG things and make lasting changes.

These books and supplies will help students build their self esteem, confidence and self image. My students are young and I want them to have the best start in life and see that they can do things.I want them to push themselves to try even when things get hard. We are living in a hard world right now and I want students to be able to get through the challenges they face daily. Giving them different supplies will promote their creativity and improve their fine motor skills. Since the pages are single sided, I also plan to highlight and save student’s work by laminating pages if they would like to save it or make it for someone.
