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

I am getting my materials ready for next year. I would love to get homework folders for my students. I do not want any more excuses!

As a teacher, I hear different and creative excuses as to why the homework is submitted incomplete.

With this project, I want to eliminate all possible excuses and move on to obtain 100% homework from all of my students. All of my students come from low-income families and can not afford to buy folders, sheet protectors, pencil pouches, pencils, erasers, or any other school supplies. I want my students to come to class and be proud of their homework because it will be nice and neat instead of folded, wrinkled, or torn. The pencil pouches will help my students keep their small supplies (such as pencils, erasers, and highlighters) organized inside their homework folders. The sheet protectors are another important item that my students will use to protect important notes that need to be stored for a long period.

Unfortunately, most of my students do not have homework folders or any school supplies accessible at home.

They walk out of the classroom with their homework in their hand. The few that do have backpacks, don't have homework folders; Thus, they throw their homework papers inside their backpacks. With your help, I want us to provide the basic school supplies that are needed to complete homework at home.
