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 absolutely love how diverse my class is. I have students who are from different cultural backgrounds, speak different languages, and have their unique personalities. The majority of my students are English language learners. I also have students with special needs. I absolutely love how I have created a classroom culture of love, respect, and acceptance. My students love coming to school and spending time with one another.

My Project

The supplies that I have requested are materials that we use daily and are running low on as of November. My students come from various backgrounds of hard working parents, who unfortunately due to various circumstances were not able to buy school supplies in the beginning of the year. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

In my list I have also included lap bands for my busy bodies, stickers to reward and encourage positive behaviors, and markers for my anchor charts.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I truly hope you are able to help and make a difference in my students educational experience.
