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

We are a public school in southern Florida. After a collaboration between a couple of the grade teachers, we realized the talent in our school that was not being nurtured. Our students have such a need and eagerness to learn but don't always have the supplies. Our school is located square in the middle of a very dense African-American population with many cultures and backgrounds mixing into our area. I serve my own 4th and 5th-grade math and science classroom with all my strength. We strive to give every child the chance to come to learn, explore, and have fun.

My Project

The school supplies that I am requesting are going to allow me to give my students a better organize class and also anchor charts that will help my students to learn. Having the correct materials to teach will help my students learn and explore. Since COVID-19 still affecting us disinfecting the class and the resources they all have access is essential. These supplies are used on a regular basis in my classroom to facilitate learning. Due to budget cuts, teachers are left to provide these materials for the classroom and somethings even wanting to do with our salaries are things that go above our own budgets. I am requesting help to organize, disinfect and decorate my classroom.
