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.
I work at a continuation high school where students are here to gain additional credit in order to graduate from high school on time. My school is very supportive of their needs and will do whatever it takes to help students reach their graduation goals.
My students come from many different backgrounds and are here for many different reasons.
Most are here because they were never inspired to care about school. I believe this can change by simply providing them with interesting and engaging lessons. Therefore, it is my responsibility to make sure that I have supplied these students with the resources they need to be inspired. Your donation help me provide them with supplies that will inspire them to learn.
My Project
My students responds well to visual, hands-on activities. These materials will be used to complete multiple projects throughout the school year. For example, in my Economics class students create visuals to better understand the law of supply and the law of demand, they also create poster sized graphs to represent their earnings and losses in a stock market project. As a final project, my students create a multi-colored career poster to represent the career goals they have for themselves.
These materials will provide my classroom with the additional support it needs to be successful.
My students get inspired when they have a large variety of art supplies available in order to complete a project. When they are inspired they perform at a higher level, they get to work faster, they feel successful, their grades go up, their confidence goes up, and they are more ready to learn.
