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

The students here at our middle school face many challenges in their day to day life yet come to class with a positive attitude ready to learn. The majority of our students are of Hispanic descent, many who have only been in the United States for less than three years. The poverty level of our students' families is heartbreaking. During virtual learning, I have been personally delivering goodies and supplies to many of my students. Some of their living conditions are so poor that I find myself in tears.

We are doing our best to support the young Hispanic students facing today's challenges by providing them with the education and materials needed for them to succeed.

We are preparing to bring our students back into the school building and my hope is to meet them with the resources that our school budget does not allow for. I want to show the students that the world cares about them and believes in them.

My Project

Often, students feel underappreciated by their teachers, which could not be further from the truth. I try to keep some treats in my classroom to give to students at least once a week, just because. Unfortunately, my salary already leaves me short many months, and it cannot be easy to find the funds to buy these treats for students. By providing these snacks for my students, they will not think of their grumbling stomachs but can focus on their science assignments while they snack. They will also be able to obtain the bigger snacks and candies using the PBIS points they have earned by working hard and doing the right thing.

Help me bring a small amount of sweetness to my students' day and show them that they matter.

With approximately 150 students on my roster, these small treats will help them feel special. Not because they did something in particular, but just for being them. My students do not get lunch until 1 pm and are often starving when lunch comes around. These snacks would help them focus on their science work instead of their rumbling stomachs.
