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
My awesome second graders come from a very low socioeconomic background with the majority 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. The median income is well below poverty level, with some being homeless. Some of these seven- and eight-year olds have the sole responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are working, with many parents working more than one job. Others are latchkey children.
Our school is Title I and 90% of the children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch.
In addition to the many challenges that these hard-working students face, they also are coping with the fact that our school is situated in a high crime area with frequent gang activity. 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.
My Project
I believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. This is why throughout the year I am constantly taking pictures of fun activities and things learned in and out of our classroom. My students love seeing pictures of themselves and their friends doing these fun and enriching activities. So far I’ve captured my students participating in the school color run, family picnics, STEM, art, special assemblies and many others. The parents are so delighted when I post these photos through our class page website (However, not all the families have access to internet). At the end of the year, I will have tons of photos to share and send home. It would be wonderful to send these pictures home in keepsakes photo albums. The photo albums would provide my students with a year of life long treasured memories of when they were in 2nd grade. I am also asking for a class set of pictures frames so that I can place our class photos and send these home as well. I would love your help in making our memory turn into a reality.
