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 wonderful hardworking multi-language learners who love learning. The majority of my students absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! I look forward to seeing them each day because they are enthusiastic attitude towards learning is inspirational in and outside of the classroom environment.

My Project

The use of notebooks, pencils, and other basic supplies is a daily requirement in the classroom. By providing students with the essential items they need at the beginning of the school year will help them be more inclined to participate in our daily activities. Students will start the year off by having the materials they need for all our subjects, especially when it comes to written assignments. These supplies will give my students the peace of mind that they need to begin a productive school year without the necessary headaches on focusing when they may be able to get the materials they need in our classroom to be fully functional.

My students will have the peace of mind knowing that they have all the required notebooks for our daily written assignments.

All of the materials they need for writing can be placed in their caddies. The take-home baggies will allow them to carry books daily to and from school, without additional strain in their regular bookbags. These are just the basic items that will help us be organized and on the same page to start our amazing and productive school year. Also, the cleaning supplies will help keep our classroom clean. Students will take ownership of making sure that our room is always clean at the end of the day.

Any donations to this project will help give my students a great start to the beginning of the school. My students will be focused and ready to learn because they will not have to worry about their basic supplies. These supplies will aide them in their daily activities, which will increase productivity in and outside of the classroom. Having these materials will be a great help to all of my students. Thanks for helping to bring them to our classroom!
