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 currently a Special Education Math teacher in a high needs middle school. My students are eager to learn but lack proper classroom resources. I am requesting necessary classroom basics in order to create a supply center.

My students are very motivated and try their best despite the academic disabilities.

In addition to learning the language, my students come from low income homes. All of the students in my school are eligible for free or reduced lunch due to the household incomes.

My Project

My students are classified as emotionally disturbed, academically delayed or learning disabled. They need all the help they can get to get them to the same level as their middle school peers. Most don't have the supplies due to the financial strain buying school supplies puts on the family. Having a large supply of pens, pencils, glue sticks, stapler, and other classroom basics, would be a blessing each day. Most of these materials are needed for everyday lessons, while others like the glue sticks & the stapler, can assist with hands-on learning and project building. If you assist us in acquiring these materials you would be saving many less fortunate from the humiliation of explaining why they are unprepared. I am also requesting visual aids for our classroom walls so they can reference current and prior math concepts.

If you think back, one of the best things about the first day of school is having brand new sharpened pencils, new art supplies, and a the desire to learn.

With your help, our classroom will be ready to start the new school year off right with these basic, necessary school supplies.
