Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

I am a teacher in a low-income, inner-city school region with a large, diverse population. Most of my students are first-generation Americans or immigrant children from a variety of South American countries. My students are faced with many challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Throughout the school year, it is our goal to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion of all! Our school is a Title I (which means a school with large concentrations of low-income students) school.

Many students in our school qualify and enter our school through the Head Start Program, which is available for children who are from families with incomes below the poverty guidelines, children from homeless families, and/or families receiving public assistance.

Some of the students in my classes are special needs students who suffer from attention deficit disorder (ADHD), are ESL students (English as a Second Language) and/or have other types of special needs. Regardless of their challenges, though, the majority of the students are very determined and eager to succeed. In spite of their personal experiences, most of my students are very active, enthusiastic learners who possess a thirst for knowledge.

My Project

My project goal is to provide my students with the basic classroom supplies they need in order to thrive academically and address their specific special needs. My students come to school on a daily basis ready and eager to learn, however many of them lack the basic school supplies needed in order to accomplish their objectives. I wish to provide my students with basic supplies such as pencils, pens, markers, wite-out correction fluid, sketch pads, labels and air freshener to be kept in the classroom for daily use.

Basic classroom supplies are essential in a classroom in order to promote a successful academic environment.

Many of my students lack basic school supplies that are essential to complete daily class assignments, improve studying skills, produce classroom projects, and enrich their minds academically. Having the right supplies is essential. When it comes to your classroom, the smallest details make the biggest difference. By having basic classroom supplies, students will be able to excel academically, address their specific special needs and will increase their studying skills. The requested materials will allow all students to be actively engaged in their learning as they focus on the task at hand.
