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

Imagine never being able to practice on something you're going to be tested on! That's the situation my students are in. They have never used proper science materials but they will be tested on them, and that test will impact their grade and futures! Help them by providing the proper materials!

My students are 6th/7th/8th grade students from Manhattan.

Many of them are from low income homes with parents who have either never been educated or only completed primary education. MY STUDENTS NEED PROPER MATERIALS in order to be prepared for their STATE EXAMS. How can we expect them to achieve if we never give them the basic supplies they need? Help my students by giving us the fundamentals of a science classroom.

My Project

The resources I am seeking are IMPERATIVE to my students achievement. My students need to understand the basics of science and cannot without the proper resources. For our school, we have one balance and that is only because a gracious donor gave it. However, for the three science classes that take place at once, one balance is NOT ENOUGH! Please please please help my students learn the fundamentals of science, this donation will help students in the future as well, as the materials will be reused for years to come. Thank you, in advance for your donations, my students truly appreciate it.

My project is a simple one, HELP MY STUDENTS LEARN, with out these simple materials my students will be well behind others who have these resources.

They do not deserve this deficiency just because the materials were not available. Please, as a new teacher, and one in a new school, I urge you to donate. Thank you for all of your thoughts and love. It is greatly appreciated.
