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 love coming to work every day because I love my students and I know that they have great potential to be whatever they want to be in life. I see children who are in crisis or labeled at risk. My students live with many personal and academic challenges. Many of my students receive special education services; they have learning disabilities and ADHD which makes schoolwork difficult. Although I assist them when they are in crisis, my most important job is teaching them strategies to deal with anger and emotions before it gets out of hand. I meet with small groups for peer mediation and life skills discussions. These intimate groups allow the children to open up and work through personal issues like homelessness, personal care and goals. No matter what their personal circumstance, I know that with assistance and the right tools, my students can go on to be successful in life. I'd appreciate any help that donors can give to help my students have a great educational experience.
My Project
For this project I am requesting basic writing tools that my students can use during our small group sessions. I meet with six groups of up to six children daily. Children also meet with me as needed, when they are in crisis.
Having writing materials available to the children will give them a way to communicate when they may not be able or willing to communicate orally.
Writing or drawing can help them calm down and get the help they need.
The supplies will also be used when the children are not in crisis. My students enjoy writing and drawing in color. They like to create art to take home or decorate my office. I am also asking for a caddy to hold the supplies. The caddy will keep all supplies accessible to everyone in the group.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
