Celebrating 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.
20 4th-graders in a struggling urban school want their creativity to soar! These students love school, even in an environment with cracked windows and intermittent heating. But for all their hard work, we lack basic instructional school supplies for them to show what they have learned through end-of-unit projects and presentations.
My students are largely recent immigrants from Central America and Africa who love learning. To enhance their language skills and further the depth of their instruction, art projects and class presentations are key. 90% of my students are second language learners, and particularly struggle with writing. Using their language skills in new ways, such as creating and presenting projects, quickly increases their proficiency and comfort.
However, we lack even construction paper to carry out these projects. I'm requesting scissors, glue sticks, construction paper, colored pencils, markers, and poster board so that we can start the school year with a bang! Engaging projects at the end of a unit are crucial to securing knowledge, and inspire students with many different learning styles. My students love learning, and are quickly motivated by opportunities to be creative, to share what they know, and to connect their learning to our lives!
Your help will give my students the opportunity to enthusiastically create cross-curricular connections between writing, art, and multiple subject areas! Without these supplies, we'll be doomed to whatever projects use only lined paper and pencils. 20 4th graders longing to create are waiting on YOU!
