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

I teach in a Title I school where students come with a wide variety of languages, ethnicities, and home-life situations. Our school is part of District Reference Group “H”, which is the second-lowest socioeconomic level a school can be placed in. While we are a Title I city school, the diversity of our population is what makes this school so special.

Being a Title I city school in the second-lowest socioeconomic level reference group means we have over 85% of our population of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

That said, many of my students struggle to have other basic needs met as well. I try not to let the lack of funding for resources be yet another obstacle for my students to have to overcome while in my classroom.

I have seen firsthand that we have a wide range of skills that need to be reinforced within each class, and having access to the proper supplies and resources makes a world of difference.

My Project

Our classroom could use a bit of cheer. We are stuck in the lull of winter. Sitting in class can get BORING. I am hoping to jazz it up a bit with some colorful LED lightning. I am also looking to replenish our mini pencil supply for the class and add to it a few fun erasers for motivators. We will get through the winter and soon enough spring will be here. I hope to lighten up the classroom in the meantime.

I am always so grateful to all of our supporters and hope that once again someone will feel that tug on their heart to help our class.
