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

As a public school teacher in Los Angeles, I often worry about meeting the basic needs of a classroom. Having access to basic supplies such as a variety markers, pens, highlighters, colored pencils, and crayons, makes a huge difference in the student experiences within my classroom walls.

Many of our students do not have access to these seemingly basic materials at home and often look to me to provide them.

I do so gladly, but it has taken a toll on our classroom stock of materials. Most importantly, I've found that when classrooms are fully outfitted with vital materials, students tend to feel better about themselves and the education they are attaining.
