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 am a special education inclusion teacher at a Title I middle school in Austin, Texas. My students are amazing kids who have a wide range of strengths and needs. Middle school can be both an exciting and challenging time for all kids, especially those who struggle with learning disabilities.

My goal is to help my students achieve academic and personal success through any means I can.

My students may come from a range of different experiences both at home and educationally, but they all want to learn and to be successful in everything they do. My students deserve access to any and all materials that will help them achieve that success, and your donation here today will go towards providing those vital materials.

My Project

My students are eager to learn; however, they always appreciate and respond well to food as a motivation to do so! I'm asking for some of their favorite food rewards to be funded. Whenever I pull out candy or some kind of food, motivation to participate goes through the roof.

The materials I've requested will maximize student engagement in the classroom.

As well as food rewards, I'm also asking for some games to use in the classroom as well. These will be implemented in a way that supplements and enhances what we are learning in class. Finally, I'm asking for basic classroom needs items, such as scissors, dry erase markers, dictionaries, and classroom organization drawers. The sum of these items will create a classroom rich in rewarding, educational fun!
