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
We are a diverse, first grade, integrated, collaborative teaching (ICT) class, with a combined mixture of general and special education students at a large, high-needs, Title I school in the north Bronx. Although most students come from low-income homes or homes with limited parental school involvement, they are enthusiastic and truly come to school every day, ready to learn. These children see school as a consistent part of their daily lives and strive daily to make me proud.
My class of first graders is some of the happiest children I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Not only do several of them struggle with unstable home lives, but many cope with various disabilities such as ADHD, autism, and speech and language impairments. These kids inspire me to provide the best education I can for them.
My Project
We are so very excited that the 2021-22 school year will be back to fully in-person learning. We will need an abundance of supplies to help the students make the transition back to school, such as crayons, glue sticks, scissors, pencils, erasers, tissue paper, and construction paper. To comply with COVID safety protocols, each student will be getting their own materials to reduce the need for sharing and exposure to germs. We also need some cleaning supplies, such as paper towels and Lysol spray to maintain and ensure a safe and hygienic environment for all.
The first part of our school day begins with a morning meeting that includes calendar time.
The Design Your Own Calendar books will be used for students to work on identifying months, weeks, celebrations and days, while also allowing them to explore their creative sides. The Write and Wipe number lines, Visualize Math Write Wipe Boards, and Building Math Skills Write Wipe Boards will be used for students to solidify mathematical concepts taught in a cohesive and organized fashion.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
