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

I am a 2nd-grade teacher in a high needs, low income, Title I school. Our students are primarily English Language Learners. Our school is made up of 70% ELL and 100% of them receive a free lunch and breakfast.

I have an incredible group of 26 students this school year.

We are two week into this school year and every day these students will walk into the classroom eager to learn and ready to face any challenge that's put in front of them. Students spend long hours at school every day and, yet, every single day they're excited to be here and ready to take on whatever is put in front of them. It truly amazes me how determined and dedicated these young minds of theirs are.

My Project

Within these past two weeks into the new school year and I have already met 26 amazing 2nd graders that have already stolen my heart. All my students have very different learning abilities. As we have returned from a year of distance learning,

I want to make sure that we have supplies to be successful this school year and items needed to help assist in our daily schedule.

The fidgets and building activities would be supplies used for when my students get anxiety and need activities to calm them down. I have also added math manipulatives that would help as visuals during out math lessons. Please help my students with all these supplies needed to make this school year extra amazing.
