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

Do you remember what it was like when you where in school and all the supplies were there for you? Well with today's economy school districts can not supply these items or families can not afford them either.

My students are very outgoing and willing to learn.

We are a Title One school, due to the multicultural diversity of our student population. The area of the school is in an economical challenged area, where their parents might have a job one day and not so the next!

My Project

My students are 2nd graders. With construction paper, pencils, crayons and glue my students will be able to do art projects that they would otherwise not be able to do. We will be able to have visual aids around the classroom with the charts, and organizers I also ordered. My students will be learning how to read higher level words and write these words with a colorful word wall. They will be learning how to add and subtract up to 3 digits numbers, fractions and multiplication by making their own flash cards using the construction paper and markers I have asked for.

These items are very important to me because I am new to 2nd grade and I will not have any of these materials otherwise.

Our school district has no money to supply the classrooms properly. Our students' families are economically challenged and they can hardly afford the food and shelter they supply to their children, let alone the school supplies necessary for them to learn and do well in school.
