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 teach 8th grade English Language Arts and Reading at a Title I school. I knew very early on that I wanted to be a teacher because I wanted to pass on my passion for literature and reading to the next generation.
My students mostly live in an urban/ industrial area near the school.
Many of them come from large families and are expected to help take care of their siblings. I know that a large number of them deal with a lot more than the average kid, day-to-day. For many of them, going to school is a reprieve.
I see my students work hard in my class day in and day out, regardless of what might be going on in their lives. Every small victory for them is a victory for me as well. It is an educator's job to give students the tools they need to succeed, and I take my job very seriously.
My 8th graders are something extraordinary. They are fiercely loyal, witty, funny, smart, and definitely drive me crazy at times, but there is truly no better group of kiddos. I want to give them every opportunity for success possible.
My Project
I have created this DonorsChoose to request chairs for my classroom. My class sizes are rather large this year, and we have had to get creative with our seating arrangements. I am getting some new tables for my classroom, and would love to be able to get the chairs to go with them.
These chairs would allow for more flexible seating options in my classroom, and would offer a far more comfortable alternative to the clunky desks that currently occupy my room.
In addition, I've added a pad of giant post-its because they allow my students the opportunity to create their own anchor charts (usually in small groups) and put them up around the classroom, leading to a higher level of productivity and learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
