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.

About My Students

Our middle school is a diverse high-needs school of about 1,400 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students. Almost 50% qualify for free or reduced-rate lunches. Many of our students receive services, including ESL, special education, and academic intervention. Despite the many obstacles my students face, they are hardworking, passionate, and enthusiastic about learning.

My students working on this project love taking ownership of their classroom with student-led projects. We have received a ton of supplies and technology through DonorsChoose.org and they are so grateful for all of it. When they see a need for something and know there is an option to take an active part in their classroom, they do with DonorsChoose.org.

Our class is broken up into 6 cooperative learning groups. Each group has its own supplies for various activities, lessons, or projects. They have scissors, glue, tape, crayons, markers, calculators, and their interactive science notebooks to keep organized. One of my students suggested to me to get something that can hold those supplies and keep them organized and easily accessible.

My students are learning real-life problem-solving skills. They realized that our current system of staying organized with our supplies was not working. They brainstormed and came up with a great solution for the problem. They are learning to become responsible for their materials and learning to maximize their time.

In Their Own Words

We need to organize our supplies. It takes away from our class time to get, use, and clean up our supplies. Many of our supplies get lost or broken when they are left at our group tables. It would be nice to have baskets at our group table to help oragnize all of our supplies so they are easy for us to access and use.

We will take the lead by helping Mrs. Pitkewicz get this project funded. When the materials arrive, we will help her open all the boxes and oragnize the supplies into the baskets. The baskets will hold crayons, markers, glue, and other supplies. We will also help our classmates get and stay organized with this baskets.

This project will help us get our groups get and stay organized. It will help keep all of our supplies neat. It will decrease the amount of messes and supplies getting lost or broken. It will teach my classmates to take responsibility for the supplies donated and bought for our classroom.
