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 experience difficulties, both academically and socially. Their problems relate to their home situations, financial instability, poor parental involvement and lack of motivation. This transfers negatively to their learning.
As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district with close to 100% of our students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and about 20% living in one of the four shelters around our school, I would like my students to experience learning in an enjoyable environment.
I want to provide activities where they will be engaged and thrilled and get the chance to change their negative feelings about learning into positive ones. My students need to believe in themselves. They need to know that they can be creative thinkers and assets to the community.
My Project
The main reason why I am requesting storage bins for books, storage sacks for folders, library books and pencil cases and caddies for scissors, pencils and markers is to help my students with organization. Most of the time they misplace their materials or have to be carrying them around to different locations in the classroom. This needs to stop.
I want my students to be comfortable, organized and prepared in their classroom setting and have the resources they need to be productive and engaged in their learning.
Like adults, students need structure in their lives to help them get through the day smoothly. I want the classroom setting to be structured for them, not only in teaching, but in the environment and setting. There should be order in the way they store and use their resources.
Please help my kids get the things they need to keep their stuff organized and safe. They would have one less thing to worry about and their day would run more smoothly. The furniture socks would also protect our floors. We thank you and are counting on your support.
More than half of students from low‑income households
