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.
Picture a group of kids who are growing up in homeless, transitional, or semi-permanent housing. That's my room. As one of the few states that guarantee family housing, our shelters are overflowing. The state has purchased temporary apartment housing near our school, and well over half of our population is in our area for a short, undetermined amount of time. With 100% of our student body receiving free breakfast, lunch, and snack, school is their safe place, and for many of our student body, it is their safe haven.
Despite obstacles that would be too much for many adults, they remain bright, funny, and fun-loving, and they really enjoy the safety and security that school brings.
Our school not only keeps the kids safe, but it's a place where learning comes alive and is so much fun!
My Project
Our little 2nd-grade classroom is in a modular (read: trailer) at the end of our building. The four plastic walls make it difficult to hang any boards in our room. This year we used an oil drip pan, some stick paper and made do with the limited workspace. Looking ahead to next year, we're envisioning and BIG change.
We'd love to add a cork board to display work and a whiteboard for students to share their ideas and build meaning to the walls of our room.
The industrial strength velcro is our best shot at adhering something impermanently to the walls.
The bulletin board paper and Welcome Decor will be used to create a classroom that is trauma ready, friendly, and welcoming to our new 2nd-grade class family!
