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
My students: Not knowing what to volunteer for to earn community service hours, we needed to do something fast. So, we located a group that supply kids with cancer a knitted cap to help keep their little heads warm. Meanwhile, my students get warm “fuzzies” for helping cancer victims in this worthy service learning project.
My students make up a small group of students in the Special Education Department who are in grades 9 through 12.
My school is a magnet school located in Florida. We are a school-of-choice that recruits all levels of students and learning abilities. A total of about 10% of the student population are in special education.
My Project
I teach English, Math, Science and Social Studies to special diploma students who come from a variety of backgrounds. They are a GREAT group of young adults who have a great spirit for assisting others in need.
My Project: Having these supplies will help us reach a goal of knitting 100 caps to donate to this precious cause. It will also help my students gain a sense of purpose and well-being, strengthen their hand/eye coordination while they earn community service hours that are needed for graduation.
My students need supplies such as looms, threading needles, and yarns to accomplish this goal.
All of my students (including the boys) have a desire to reach this goal and I hope to provide them with a variety of ways to reinforce skills that will advance their academic learning with the help of the DonorsChoose Community. Thank you for your time and considerations
