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 teach 1st and 2nd grade Dual language (Spanish- English) in a school in The Bronx. Most of my students come from a low income area. More than 90 percent are eligible for free lunch. I really enjoy teaching my students. More than 80 percent of my students are new comers ( Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and from other countries from South America. I have the pleasure to not just teach a new language; but also to introduce them to a new culture.

My Project

Most of my students do not have the finances to purchase basic classroom supplies during the entire school year. Providing them with the beginning of the school year supplies will help them be prepared and ready for a successful school year.

I ask for Dry Erase Boards (to practice the new vocabulary words), notebooks, pencils, crayons, erasers, literacy and math center supplies.

These materials will also ensure that my students have access to materials that will help them achieve academically during the school year. They will be able to have all the necessary materials to create writing pieces. To practice sight words and expand their vocabulary. Furthermore, to create some arts ( crayons, color pencil, and glue sticks will be used for this activities) activities that will be incorporated on the reading and writing units.

My students will have all the necessary supplies to create wonderful witting and reading projects. furthermore, it will help them to create math project and to improve their math skills.

Having these supplies will also provide an equable opportunity for all students to be successful and active learners.
