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

Working in a TITLE I school, students face many financial hardships making it difficult for them to have the supplies they need to achieve success. Through your donations, I plan to create a creative and safe environment for students to be expressive of their thinking and comprehension the way they understand the content.

Purchasing these items will help prepare my students for the school years giving them limitless number of supplies, such as pencils and dry erase markers, to use to tackle mathematical equations, conduct science experiments, and use their creativity to showcase their comprehension and thinking process!

Being supplied with these materials will allow me to differentiate my teaching techniques for students to ensure I am adhering to students learning styles and supplement them with tools to achieve their academic goals.

It will be a memorable year for my students as this is this last year of elementary school and I would like to make it a year that they never forget!
