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 come from low-income households so I want to be able to provide a place where they can look forward to coming to, feel like a safe and fun space to enjoy themselves.

Many of my students come from broken homes, shelters, and even homelessness.

Most of my students have limited to no access to computers or internet outside of our school building. Many students view the school as a way to escape their unfortunate lifestyles. With the budget cuts, it has made it difficult to fund student centered projects.

My Project

The games and snacks requested will help students communicate their needs and wants while building a good rapport.

These interactive games I am requesting will help them gain confidence, learn how to interact with their peers and build friendships.

It can teach them how to problem solve, and collaborate with other members of the society we live in. Playing games will also help students to build a sense of community. Snacks have also been requested because many of the students have limited food at home and always come to school hungry and asking for food at the end of the day to take home.
