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

Many of my students have been in the US for less than a year and have very limited resources. The binders, pencils and loose-leaf paper will be given to each student so they can organize their work throughout the year. This is to avoid having to deal with random papers thrown in their bags.

I am asking for basic materials that will be used all year long and recycled if possible, for next year’s students in our ENL program.

I teach students of families who recently came to the United States for a better future. Our students are new to the country and have very limited resources. In a math class, note taking is super important and these materials will help a lot. Thank you!
