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
Hello! I am a fifth-year teacher and every day I get to work with the most amazing kids I have ever met. I work in a high-poverty school and all of my students receive free breakfast and lunch. To them, books and school supplies are a luxury. Our students work hard and face many personal challenges on a daily basis that impacts their ability to learn. I also work with many bilingual students from all different types of cultural backgrounds.
As a Reading Specialist, I work with the most struggling readers in grades K-3.
My students are so limited in what they have been exposed to that I need to quickly boost them to an emergent reader level. Reading affects all school subjects. By empowering my students with the gift of reading, I hope to help make them successful in all aspects of their education.
My Project
The pandemic has made it difficult for many parents to afford the basic supplies for their children. This project would make it so that parents would not need to buy any supplies for their children. These supplies are high quality and durable so that my students can use them throughout the year. The "Color Your World" markers and colored pencils will help my students see a representation of their own unique and beautiful skin tones in our classroom materials. The bulletin board material will help me create a bright and vibrant classroom environment that my kids can call home. And the dry erase boards and markers will be used every single day so my students can practice their sight words, letters, blends, etc.
This past year has been tough on students and their parents - this project would make for an easier start to the school year.
