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
Hi! My name is Ms. Brunetti and I am beginning my 9th year of teaching in the Bronx. I teach in a Title I school and my first grade students have a variety of different needs. I love teaching firsties because they have so much love and life to give, their colorful spirits are what keep me motivated!
My Project
I teach first grade in the Bronx. This year will look a little different with the new Blended Learning model. All of my students deserve the best education I can provide especially now in these trying times.
These children are beginning the new school year with stress and anxiety and I want to make their experience here as warm and colorful as I can!
I have a lot of students who are just learning to speak English (English Language Learners aka ELLs) and they benefit from picture aids. I know that a colored printer would help me enhance my lessons and help these little cuties build a strong foundation in English!
More than three‑quarters of 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
