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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My elementary grades 1-4, ages 6-10, girls come to me with nothing as they are residents of a psychiatric treatment hospital for kids. Families can't/don't send school supplies, and my students come from all over the country, often having been wards of the state at some point in their lives, to receive mental health services, therapy, and often times reset medications, while we work to provide a high quality education through it all. I am their fully self-contained teacher with a 1 room classroom for these girls. I teach music, art, PE, and all core subjects.
Many of our kids come from situations of abuse in addition to other mental health diagnoses, and are having to process through trauma and learn how to "school".
Most of my kids are below level, yes educationally, and unfortunately due to mental health issues and trauma they are also socially/emotionally stunted, sometimes by as much as several years.
We have to be very careful about bringing in some supplies as my students are sometimes a danger to themselves or others due to their various situations and struggles, and because their families are located all over, we 100% rely on our little budgets to try to get supplies. Mostly I'm requesting basic art supplies: paper, paint, brushes, scissors, clay, but I'm also requesting headphones so my kids can continue to use their online reading programs as we remediate reading gaps, and work to increase their access to on-level books, vocabulary, and math.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
