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 some of the brightest second and third graders you will ever meet. They have a true passion for reading, math and science. Their young minds are thirsting for knowledge and it is truly exciting to be a part of their learning process.

Unfortunately, they are recovering from Hurricane Irma and also come from low income homes where their parents struggle to help with homework and projects due to their limited English proficiency.

Our school is a Title I School that tries to provide all that is needed to help our students but due to budget cuts, it becomes very difficult to do so. I usually find myself trying to come up with creative ways to pay for the materials needed for class projects. More than 95% of our school is on free or reduced price lunch. These families struggle financially.

My Project

My students will benefit from your donations because you will be providing them with basics such as pencils, ink for our printer, and math centers to increase math fluency in the classroom. My students are recovering from Hurricane Irma and several of them have special needs and varying ESOL levels. They will benefit from the math centers that will help bridge their academic gap. The wobble chair will provide an area to release some of their anxieties. We will use the math centers to increase their number sense and math skills.

Your donations will make a positive impact in the lives of my students.

You will be providing them with basic materials and fun math centers in the classroom that will bring joy to our learning environment. In today's world, it is crucial that we do all that we can to help prepare our students for the future. Furthermore, you will be providing them with an opportunity to succeed. It is my hope that you will be a part of this journey that shows our youth that education is important and should be our number one priority. Thank you.
