Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My awesome second graders come from a very low socioeconomic background with some falling below the poverty line. They are mainly English language learners (80%), and many of them live in homes which house multiple families under the same roof.

On average, 2 or 3 students in my classroom are considered homeless and struggle to find suitable housing.

They qualify for assistance through The McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Some of my students are latchkey children. Some of these seven- and eight-year-olds have the sole responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are working. Many of their parents have more than one job.

Our school is Title I and 80% of the children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. My children have extremely limited access to technology in their homes, yet, with all these obstacles, my students come to school with much enthusiasm and an eager desire to learn. As a teacher, I am very passionate about bringing STEAM to my classroom on a weekly basis. I feel that STEM provides students with the 4 C's: collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication.

My Project

In a classroom with students of different learning abilities, books is a way for the students to cope, identify and read at their levels. Reading is so crucial and an important key element in order to be successful in life. However, in order for this to occur, students must have access to books. I want to provide my students with the opportunity to select a book on their birthdays and other special occasions to take home and read with their families. The majority of my students come from a low-income family, foster family, or are experiencing homelessness. Books are a luxury and families can not afford it. I can not expect my families to purchase books if they cannot afford to even provide their children with the basic needs or even a roof over their heads. However, with your support, my students will be able to attain the books of their choice by using the birthday coupons. Imagine the excitement and anticipation as they get to select their own books on their birthdays / special occasions and keep them too. I feel that reading is the pathway to a brighter future!
