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

"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.

The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing and share with their peers.

They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.

My Project

Our school district is currently operating out of the hybrid model with the hopes of having students return full time next academic year. Now that we have some students back, they look forward to playing together during recess!

I would like to provide equipment like hula hoops, jump ropes, yoga mats, and disinfectant wipes for our students to play with during recess.

These items are easy to store, fun for individual play. Having wipes accessible will help maintain cleanliness and safety as students use the equipment. Help our students have some fun for the remainder of the year and hopefully for the next school year as well.
