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 work with students that are 100% from low social economic families who have limited resources to purchase supplies for the school year. My students are disabled and must overcome obstacles to achieve student success.

Basic supplies like a tablet, a desk and consumable supplies will allow my students to start the school year on the right foot.

These supplies will also allow me to be a more efficient teacher by giving me the tools to meet the needs of my students. The posters will aid me in my teaching as well.
