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
I have a very diverse set of students from Haiti, Cuba, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and all over the U.S., although most of my students identify as African American. In terms of socioeconomic class, all of my students come from a disadvantaged background, much like myself. Despite all of the challenges my students face at home, on the streets, and at school, they always find a way to smile.
As a Title I school, we struggle to provide our students with the materials and support they need to obtain the very best education they deserve.
As I look around my class, I'm proud to say that I see a group of incredibly talented and intelligent students that excel in debate, cheer leading, track, band, football, theater, dance, and choir. I truly believe every single one of my students have what it takes to do anything they set their minds to, they just need the resources and opportunities to make it happen.
My Project
As a Title I school, we lack the technological equipment needed to facilitate learning in the classroom. Currently, we do not have access to any computers in the classroom and our tablets are slow, broken, or unusable. Furthermore, our students do not have access to laptops, computers, or printers at home.
This project would make it possible for my students to gain access to technology and other office equipment they lack at home.
Since our classes involve writing and reading, students often need to type essays, look up scholarly texts online, and do research for projects. A few Chromebooks would ensure more students have access to technology in my classroom. Furthermore, our class printer needs ink and paper for the year so my students can print their essays, class projects, and applications for different scholarship programs.
More than half of students from low‑income households
