My Project

When I look at my school population of students, the one thing I notice is how culturally diverse they are. I have students who come from Mexico, Africa, Asia, and Polynesian Islands. I work at a Title I school where 91% of the students qualify to receive free lunch. I love coming to work every day because I get to share my love of art, history, and mathematics with my students. In return, they are teaching me about their personal culture. Most of my students come from low-income homes where they experience many struggles daily. But do they show this? No, they show me that the world will not bring them down and that they are excited to learn something new every day when they walk into my room.

The majority of my student school population are ELD (English Language Learners).

This means that my students have to work twice as hard to understand the content they are learning in a day because they are not completely fluent in the language that they are being taught in.

On a daily basis I am having to translate my directions into multiple languages because I teach a diverse group of ELD students . Students struggle to learn when they are hungry and hunger is a hardship our students do face on a daily basis. This is why I provide students food when needed during lunch, after school, and during class if needed. I also let my entire POD of teachers on my side of the school know that if they have a student in need that they are welcome to send them over during class.

This project funded will help me continue providing a essential basic that the students at my school need.
