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 come from low-income families who have not all had the opportunity to experience everything the world has to offer them. They are able to use what is provided to them inside the classroom, but would love to enhance their learning even more! My students are eager to learn, and would benefit from hands-on activities and other resources that will allow them to grow.

Knowing that many of my students are unable to afford educational materials necessary to grow, I am eager to find a way to provide it to them on my own!

My Project

My class has a limited amount of pencils provided to us from the beginning of the school year. We were also provided with a mechanical pencil sharpener that has not worked since October, 2017. Everyday we have a an issue with pencils because there are not enough, and because we are unable to sharpen them quickly and effectively.

My students need these materials in order to enhance their writing skills, complete their classwork, and be successful.

My class also need notebooks in order to continue practicing the skills taught. Students were asked to bring in notebooks in the beginning of the year, but as we are now in the month of January, they are filling up their books quickly!
