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
I want my classroom to be a place students WANT to come every day, not HAVE to come every day. After the past year, this has been a challenge with distance and hybrid learning schedules.
Each student is different, each year is different, and this is why I love my job.
I love being able to figure out what makes them excited to come to school every day, which makes them learn, and how I can help or possibly inspire them to reach their full potential.
My school is located in South Los Angeles where 100% of the students receive free lunch. My school is a Performing Arts Magnet, so the students come from a variety of homes all over Los Angeles County from various socio-economic backgrounds. I have some parents that are teachers, some that are construction workers, and some that work more than one job to make ends meet. What they all have in common is a desire to give their child the best education possible.
My Project
My students are returning to school in-person after more than a year of distance learning. I would like to welcome them back with some basic school supplies that will make their return special. When I was a student, I LOVED new school supplies, and I know my students feel the same. Not only are new supplies fun, but the binders and tabs will teach the students how to organize their materials, and notes where the pens, pencils and highlighters are used to find important information and take notes. These supplies will last them through their 4th grade year. In the unfortunate event that we return to Distance Learning, they can easily be sent home to be used there.
