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
When my students and I said our goodbyes one Friday in mid-March, little did we know that it was going to be for the remainder of the school year. Many went home with a school issued laptop computer and a folder of worksheets that we thought would last for the time needed.
Boy, were we wrong!
We were definitely not prepared for the events that were to come. As an educator in a low income, highly transient urban area of Miami-Dade County my kiddos and I are normally faced with many challenges and we are accustomed to jump whatever hurdles are encountered as I address my learners' educational needs.
Regardless of our current challenges though, the majority of my students are very determined and eager to succeed. In spite of their personal experiences, most of my students are very active, enthusiastic learners who possess a thirst for knowledge. So, we persevered and are now engaged in distance learning and video conferencing through Zoom in order to accomplish our educational goals.
My Project
Needless to say, we are living in very uncertain times and as a result my kiddos have had to transition to learning from home. While it is not ideal, we are all doing our best to keep the learning going and to stay connected as a class family! My students and I communicate daily through Zoom. This provides an adequate form of face to face communication, however the limited supplies that we brought home have nearly been depleted.
Our project gets our kiddos the basic materials needed in order to succeed academically!
It is my goal to provide my students with basic supplies such as pencils, pens, glue, highlighters, folders, notebooks and erasers. Basic classroom supplies are essential in order to promote a successful academic environment. Many of my students lack basic school supplies that are essential to complete daily class assignments, improve studying skills, produce classroom projects that enrich their minds academically.
Having the right supplies is essential. When it comes to academic success, the smallest details make the biggest difference. By having basic supplies, the students will be able to excel academically, address their specific learning needs and will increase their studying skills. The requested materials will allow all students to be actively engaged in their learning as they focus on the task at hand.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
