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

Can you imagine not having the supplies you need to start your school year off correctly? Many of my students come to school without any of the necessities they need to start their year off successfully!

"I am a fifth grade teacher in a pre k-8th grade school.

Most of my students come from very low economic family status. My students all come from lower income families. Many of these children face poverty, violence and obscenities of life on a daily basis, that are well beyond what most of us could imagine. Yet my students do their best to learn. I try my best to give them a good education and an introduction to the American way of life, but with limited resources there are many things that others consider basic parts of education that I cannot provide without assistance. Many of them do not come to school with the correct supplies needed to succeed. Their parents are not able to supply them with simple school supplies.

My Project

My students need various notebooks, folders, pencils, pens, colored pencils, erasers, dry erase markers and a pencil sharpener. These supplies will help keep my students organized, on task and ready to start learning each and every day. Having these tools each and every day, helps to motivate a child to be ready to do their very best every day.

Having the opportunity to have these needed supplies available in my classroom would give my students the opportunity to start the year off ahead.

They will have what they need to succeed and strive to reach their goals.
