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.
My students come from economically, disadvantaged homes. Many of them have a hard time getting the pens, pencils, and paper that they need for school. There are many hurdles they have to jump through due to their economical problems.
The students can be a little tough, but beneath this exterior are kids who just need that added push to excel.
Without the supplies students are year behind the curve and feel as if they never get caught up. This really does have an impact on their self esteem. They don't feel as if they have the same opportunities as those who have supplies.
My Project
Research has shown that taking notes on canary colored paper helps the note taker remember the information they were writing down. Many of my students have a difficult time purchasing the normal school supplies. It is difficult to ask them to purchase supplies that don't normally go on sale and our more expensive.
They have enough hurdles to jump through, providing them with some of the basic supplies such as canary colored paper and craft supplies such as paper and markers for projects allows them to have less hurdles to face in order to have a productive time in the classroom. These students need to be able to participate in class activities without the fear of finances.
Not being able to bring in supplies such as colored paper or markers should not stop them. It won't stop them with your support!
The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
The idea of "pay it forward" means something to them. They realize that things that are given to them have an impact on them and do come at a cost. A bill that needs to be paid in the future by helping out people who are less fortunate than they are. Students of today need to be invested in so that they can have the opportunity to invest in future generations.
