Celebrating 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 students come from an urban area and are mostly raised in single-parent homes. Many of the students that I service are of low-income families and receive support from the government for their basic necessities. Statistics show that some children that are brought up in this type of environment struggle later on in life due to lack of experiences in the world around them.
I can see in my students' eyes that they would like a chance to explore the world and see new things.
However, I understand that their families just can not physically show them the world for multiple reasons. I am a teacher that hopes to give them a fair chance of seeing new things so that they have a chance of growing up and going to college and not allowing finances to deter them from being the best they can be. They deserve a place where they can learn and also call home. My goal is to make my room feel more like a place they are eager to come to every day.
My Project
My students would benefit from flexible seating in the classroom because they. have special needs and with some being diagnosed with ADHD the change in the seating choices can help the to exert energy. We are working on place value and some of the students struggle with the small visuals they have in place for them on their desk. Having a bigger model can help them to become more successful in the lesson. Many of my students are working on different grade levels below 4th grade. Therefore I face many challenges daily to help my scholars become successful. Your donation can lead me on the right track to helping them one by one.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
