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

In our classroom, we use a variety of electronic items on a daily basis to enhance our learning experience. From calculators to digital thermometers, these tools help make abstract concepts tangible and engaging for my students. However, the cost of constantly replacing disposable batteries is a challenge. That's why I'm reaching out to donors like you to help us acquire rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.

I am continually inspired by the curiosity and creativity of my students.

They approach each day with a sense of wonder and excitement, eager to explore new ideas and concepts. Their enthusiasm reminds me why I became a teacher and motivates me to provide them with the best possible learning experiences.

Your Support Will Make a Difference:

By providing us with rechargeable batteries, you will help us reduce waste and save money, allowing us to allocate more resources towards enhancing our classroom experience. With your support, we will be able to power up our electronic devices sustainably and continue to provide hands-on, interactive learning opportunities for our students.

Goals:

Ensure that all electronic devices in our classroom are powered up and ready for use.

Teach students about the importance of sustainability and reducing waste.

Enhance our learning environment by providing reliable power sources for our electronic tools.

What Makes My Students Special:

My students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experiences and perspectives to our classroom. They are resilient, creative, and eager to learn, and they inspire me to be a better teacher every day. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such amazing young minds and help them reach their full potential.

Thank you for considering supporting our project. Together, we can power up learning and make a difference in the lives of these incredible students!
