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.
My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!
Our school is located in rural south Texas.
We are a Title 1 District; therefore they are socioeconomically challenged. Many students in my science class are underdeveloped because they don't necessarily have the typical experiences that inner-city students have. Our school was once surrounded by bustling mills and oil rigs. Now, with many of them closed, our families often struggle to find employment and opportunity.
Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!
My Project
Please help our girl's basketball team to have individual balls to practice even during the times of COVID. There are times that we can not all practice together because of unforeseen times of isolation due to COVID and I would like for the girls to all have balls that they can take home. We don't have good balls that hold air and we are constantly filling them up and it takes time out of our practice, so we also need to replace our balls for regularly scheduled practices and games.
