Celebrate 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

Special education can be challenging but extremely rewarding, mainly if you teach in the Bronx. My students come from a predominately low-income area and come from single-family households. Ninety-nine percent of my students receive free or reduced-price lunches based on their socio-economic backgrounds, and twenty-five percent of those students are special needs. My students face many problems in our neighborhood, such as a lack of proper funding for books and other essential needs, growing up in a high crime, high poverty neighborhood, and a culture that doesn't emphasize a vital education.

My students are highly energized and visual learners.

They love working on computers and using technology. In our school, we push our students to become job and college-ready. Throughout the year, we explore how to write resumes, balance checkbooks, plan a dinner party, use Microsoft Office, use Google Drive, and design a house/room/zoo. This way, my students are ready for the real world at a young age.

My Project

This school year has been different from any other. COVID-19 has affected us all emotionally but you do not think about how it can affect the basic parts of the classroom. Because of COVID-19, a majority of the families in our classroom community cannot afford basic supplies for the classroom. For our math class we need a lot of supplies. To help enhance their learning, my students need protractors and rulers to use in their lessons. They also need pencils and highlighters for everyday use. Additionally, our classroom stapler broke so we need a new stapler to keep their papers organized.

By having these basic supplies ready and available, students will not receive a stigma of not being able to afford these supplies to have a successful new year!

These supplies will help my students concentrate on more important things like their school work instead of worrying because they do not have pencils or other basic supplies.
