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

My students are new immigrants from Central America, and they are so excited to learn English. Writing in English is very important for them, and they do a lot of writing in my class.

They don’t have a lot of money, so I want to provide pre-sharpened pencils for them to use in my class and in their other classes.

I want them to feel comfortable, not stressed because they can’t find a pencil.

A lack of Kleenex is another issue for my students. When I don’t have Kleenex, it leads to a lot of discomfort as well as disruptions in learning when they have to go to the restroom for toilet paper.

Finally, my district is undergoing a lot of changes and has cut funding for our supply budget. Teachers are not being given enough copy paper to make it through the year.
