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 school is full of vibrant, excited learners ready for new challenges each and every day! We are a preK-8th grade school, and in every grade we develop a strong classroom community to support one another.

My school is made up of students with special needs, gifted students and English language learners.

We fill our days with rigorous academics and extraordinary teachers.

My students all come from lower income families that struggle each day to make ends meet. Many of these children face poverty and violence on a daily basis that is well beyond what most of us could imagine. Yet, the students do their best to learn. We try our best to give our students a good education and an introduction to the American way of life, but with limited resources there are many things that others consider basic parts of education that we cannot provide without assistance. My school is very limited in the funds that teachers receive every year. Teachers go forward and buy their own supplies to help their students have a successful school year.

My Project

With the Scholastic Super Science donation, students will be able to study and learn about real life science happenings and expand their vocabulary with the articles and numerous resources Scholastic supplies on their website. With the Scholastic News donation, students will be able to learn about different current events as well as highlight their articles to help take notes about the events. The students will be able to do hands-on learning with having the materials and articles at their fingertips. Students can make each magazine their own and individualize their learning. Students will be able to use these magazines daily as part of their reading options.
