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 classroom is a place of refuge for my 20 brilliant students. They come from various backgrounds and cultures and are all eager to learn. Though my school is title 1 based on the number of students living in poverty, this just happens to be their current circumstance. Poverty does not define my students or determine where who they will become.

This platform allows my students to have the opportunity of getting materials and resources that balance the inequity that currently exists for them.

My students are all capable individuals who just need the opportunity to show their greatness. By setting high expectations and believing in them and allowing them to have a fresh start each day, they are able to strive as learners and as individuals.

My Project

Students are returning to the classroom for the first time since the pandemic. They are not able to purchase a lot of the items I asked for on the Supply List and I want them to be able to still learn effectively in the classroom. These items will ensure that all my students learn what they need to by the end of the school year. We learn a lot of our lessons using dry erase boards and markers, as well as sticky notes for fun, interactive activities.

The students will each receive individual headphones to use on their personal computers given by the school, so they are able to continue their learning while I work with a special group and provide the differentiation I need for all students.

They also need to be able to continually sharpen their pencils, as my students mainly use regular No.2 pencils, and a nice pencil sharpener will certainly save time and distraction, so the focus can be on the curriculum and content.
