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 students are a mix of personalities. Some are shy and others are gregarious. Some are serious and some are goofy. They are still testing out their personas, so to speak, but they are a tough bunch. Maybe they have to be since we are located in the South Bronx. We are a Title I school in a not yet gentrified area. It is unfortunate that our students have to walk past addicts and discarded drug paraphernalia on their way to school.

Our school provides students with a sanctuary that allows them to grow and learn.

We are a 6th-12th grade school, so we have the opportunity to watch these students grow from children to young adults. Since we are a relatively small school, we get to know the students, their siblings, and their families. There is a good sense of community at our school.

My Project

I often see my students stuff their notes into their backpacks where they become crumpled, disorganized, and lost. I hope that giving each one of them an envelope folder or pocket folder along with a fastener will help them keep their science notes in order so they can review them when it is time to study for their unit exams.

These folders are tools that will help my students develop better organizational skills.

The black paper and opaque white gel pens and metallic pens will be used to create memorable reference sheets. They will stand out from my students' usual blue or black ink on white paper notes.
