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.
Syria, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Columbia.....These are the amazing countries my students came from. We are a 2nd grade ESL class located in Providence, RI. We are a Title I school and 90%-95% of students receive free or reduced lunch. My students are very motivated to learn English and they love coming to school! My job is to provide them with the best learning experience!
I need the necessary tools in order to give them the most effective instruction in both their native language and in English.
I want to help my students be as successful as they can be....I owe it to them!
My Project
This proposal is a request for an air purifier for my classroom. There are 26 good reasons to put an air purifier in my classroom - the students! A main benefit of an air filter/purifier is that it would cut down on dust. Our building is over 60 years old and produces and traps a great deal of dust, which leads to increased student and staff illness, as well as damaging computer and other equipment. The air purifier would also cut down on allergens. In a time when an ever-increasing number of students are diagnosed with asthma or allergies, cutting down on pollen, molds (which are plentiful in our school), and other airborne allergens would allow those children to breathe a little bit easier. Aside from dust and other allergens, air purifiers eliminate airborne bacteria, germs, and viruses that circulate in the classroom. This would mean fewer sick students, teachers, and other school employees, as well as cut down on disease agents brought home by students and transmitted to family members. A final benefit of an air purifier is that it would neutralize odors. While half-jesting, this really is an added bonus. On warm days, this feature will be greatly appreciated.
