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

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Many students in my classroom come in saying they have difficulty completing practice assignments at home because of lack of supplies and resources.

Our school is located in high need area of Brooklyn, NY. Most of my students received free or reduce lunch.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each day!

My Project

Providing my students with basic materials and resources such as scissors, colored pencils and dry erase markers will make them feel more confident and secure in their learning experience. When they come to school and don't have the supplies that they need, it interferes with learning and achieving our educational goals. With the proper materials, my students will be prepared to learn! You can give these students the tools they need to learn and the opportunity to grow as individuals by increasing their confidence. Help me create a learning environment where all students have access to the supplies they need. They will be able to write and draw beautiful pictures with the materials in this project. I am also asking for basic school supplies such as folders, pencils, crayons, erasers, and markers to help create a learning experience for my students that ensures success.

Your donation will make a difference in the lives of the 20 students that I teach daily.

By providing my students with the supplies they need, they will be prepared and successful to work on their assignments and activities; therefore, able to maximize their learning! Your gift will be greatly appreciated by us! Thank you!
