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.
Our students are a diverse group of motivated, hard-working and passionate learners. Living in an urban neighborhood in Northwest Washington, DC, some of our students find themselves below grade level or struggling to learn English. However, we provide all the resources and support to help these students reach grade level expectations by the end of each school year, by teaching them to work through the curriculum at their own pace.
At our school, we emphasize that education is journey and not a competition.
Through personal devices for all students grades 3-8; free breakfast, lunch and snack every day; and an extended school day so there is time for mentorship and intervention, our students are equipped with the power to overcome any challenges and reach any and all of their personal goals.
My Project
My students travel to seven different classes a day, for which they need supplies. These zipper binders will help my students stay organized and keep them from forgetting supplies and books in other classes.
With a high amount of our students coming from low-income homes, it can be difficult for families to buy this expensive supply.
In addition, we want to be able to have every student feel successful and organized as they get ready to embark on a new school for middle school.
As a school that provides a home visit for every student, we work very closely with families to create a support team for students. We get to know the family's wants and needs very well. Helping provide supplies is definitely a need for our student's families.
