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 truly enjoy learning and being challenged throughout all areas of school work. Our school is located in Durham, NC in a very high poverty area. Despite this challenge my students are eager to come to school. I teach twenty-four academically gifted students across grades 3-5. My students are constantly seeking new books to read. They are a bright group of students who love to learn and be pushed. Our school is a year-round magnet school. We are currently in the first quarter of our school year. On week 5.
My Project
We started a program at our school called Girls on The Run. We had our first practice yesterday 2/13/2018. We noticed that several of our girls do not have proper clothes to participate in. We made do yesterday the best we could. However, our girls will train to run a 5k at the end of our program. In order for them to continue participating we need them in the proper clothing and to be comfortable. We are working with another organization to provide shoes for the girls. Our school is a Title One school and a very high poverty area. This program is so beneficial to our students and teaches our girls life long skills. We need jackets, t-shirts, yoga pants and shorts for the girls.
