My Students
My students come from primarily Latin American countries and live in an extremely low income neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. They are creative, empathetic, and innovative and with the right resources are able to engage in higher level learning. My students are English Language Learners which means they have to work twice as hard in every class: learning the content area, as well as the corresponding language.
My students are the kinds of kids that come into a classroom and love knowing exactly where their binders are while simultaneously enjoying getting a new color eraser when they do well in an activity.
They work hard to engage in a variety of projects and literature throughout the school year. Anything that makes students better able to engage in learning and not worry about other than learning.
My Project
My students come from one of the lowest income regions of New York City. School supplies are difficult for families in middle class neighborhoods to acquire and for the students in my school, it is one more roadblock on the path to equitable education.
Since starting at my school, I have ensured that students my students have the supplies they need for each school year, but this year I'm shifting to binders and it is getting more costly.
My students need organization skills for high school and college readiness: these supplies will give them the tools they need now and later.
Furthermore, I engage my students in project base learning and reading projects throughout the school year. By having book bins, binders, and dividers, they will be able to thoroughly engage in autonomous learning and have control over their organization.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
