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 Project

This is the time of the year when students keep coming to school without pencils. I also would like to help other teachers in Soundview Academy supply their students with pencils. In addition since the ELA and MATH tests are approaching I would like to help the school providing pencils for our students. My classroom is also in need of clip boards and white erase boards to help my students writing sentences and meanings to unknown words. My students are always willing to learn and complete their assignments. They are very enthusiastic and appreciate the help we provide for them.
