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 5th-grade students are eager learners. They have a wide range of social-emotional and academic abilities. Like many districts we will have to be flexible this year. One thing I want to make sure of is that my students have the materials and supplies they need to succeed whether in class or remote. I want to make sure I am able to engage the students through art integrated lessons while at home or in class.

Most of my students are from low-income families and I know the pandemic has greatly impacted them.

Being able to provide school supplies will go a long way and I know will be greatly appreciated.

My Project

I want to ease the burden for parents effected by COVID-19 by helping out with some school supplies. The supplies will help whether they are learning in school or at home.

Giving students the supplies they need to learn will take away the stress and allow them to focus on their education!

Having proper materials whether at home or at school will ensure we can begin our year with a bang! We can focus on our lessons and learning, rather than worrying about if we have the correct school supplies.
