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.
Each morning our students arrive at school, ready for a long day. They are required to leave the security of home and family and face the world. Living in a city plagued by poverty and violence, they seek to find their identity.
The stakes are high, and their parents and teachers want the world for them.
Who are these students? They are citizens living in one of America's poorest and most dangerous cities. For many of them, school is the safe haven. The classroom they enter has starfish and seahorses, rocks and magnets, wasps nests and ostrich eggs. Their home life experiences are limited. They won't be traveling. Disney is a dream, and pictures are taken on a phone and left unprinted. Who are my students? They are my blessings and the future.
My Project
In many schools, a list of classroom needs is sent home for parents to provide wipes and cleaning supplies. I am not comfortable doing this. Many of our parents are just making ends meet. Yet, our classroom needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
Little ones come in sick and share just about everything.
The cleaning wipes I have asked for will enable me to wipe down chairs and tables each day and I envision our cots getting the same treatment. The germicidal wipes will fight the germs that can cause my student to get sick and stay home. Less time spent at home from sickness increases more time my students will spend in school learning. Our healthy food snacks will start our year off with healthy snack selections. My students will learn early the importance of a clean environment and healthy eating.
