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.
My Students
My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. My students are all different types of learners and have various backgrounds. I have students who do not speak English, students with disabilities, and some students who are homeless.
I teach at a Title I school in New York where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students receive food and clothing from the school's charity drives. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.
My Project
Last school year, NYC provided all public schools with unlimited amounts of PPE, including hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes. This school year we were informed that NYC government will no longer be providing hand sanitizer for the classroom or disinfecting wipes.
My students do not have anything to help keep our classroom clean and germ free, especially to clean the daily dust from the construction in our classroom.
I
Children are social people and are constantly sharing objects, books, pencils and other things throughout the day. I tell my students to keep their items to themselves but as you can imagine it's very tricky with 9 year olds, they want to help each other and many times that means touching and sharing things. Having sanitizer would ensure that they are being safe.n addition to the pandemic, we are getting new windows in our classroom while we are still in the classroom. There is dust everywhere and we need a way to clean the dust off the desks every morning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
