Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My students are the most amazing students ever! Our school is a Title I school, which means that we have a large number of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Many of my students share homes or apartments with another family. Some live in gang-involved neighborhoods. Some come from impoverished homes and dysfunctional families. Some of my students have to play the adult role when they get home from school because their parents are field workers who work from sun up to sun down. They care for their siblings, or cousins, or the neighbor's kids - without pay and without complaint. Sometimes there is no electricity, water, or food. Many of them are wise beyond their years.

Despite what I perceive as obstacles, they just take it in stride and are full of energy, kindness, and a desire to learn and grow.

They are the most spirited children you will ever meet. They light up my day with their enthusiasm for learning.

I love them and I love my job!

My Project

We have been in distance learning mode since March of 2020. One thing I noticed last spring was that very few children had desks. This year, I have seen again how few students have work spaces.

Students can't be successful at distance learning if they don't have the appropriate tools.

One of those tools is a place to work. Most students are on the bed, on the floor, at the kitchen table, at the coffee table, or on the couch. Each child needs his or her own space to be successful in school especially for distance learning!
