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
How can we close the achievement gap when students do not have the necessary materials to succeed? A review of student grades and school-wide data indicates that students with disabilities are the lowest-performing sub-group at our inner-city, low-income elementary school.
My classroom serves students with a range of disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder, specific learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance.
They come to my classroom excited and ready to learn, but often they have trauma, anxiety, and tension in their lives that makes coming to school difficult. The typical student in my class reads at a first-grade level, and many struggle with basic phonics and number sense. One hundred percent of our students are African American or Latino and benefit from free lunch. The opportunity gap and achievement gap are apparent among our student population and the student populations of more affluent areas of our school district.
My Project
My students have been learning from home for six months now and greatly need to replenish their home supplies. This includes pencils, dry erase boards and markers, and sticky notes.
Many times the students are asked to work out their math problems or write a sentence down and they can't because they lack the basic learning materials.
They are in desperate need of common school supplies that my Title I school has unfortunately run out of.
My students would be so grateful for new school supplies to help them achieve their goals. They love learning and are always striving to try their best but it's difficult when they are missing tools to get them there.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
