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
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." A day in my class typically starts with high-five and a bright "GOOD MORNING!" While enjoying breakfast in the classroom, we share stories about our weekend or the night before.
My 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students come to class with the eagerness to learn!
When they walk into the classroom, they have an opportunity to truly be themselves, whether it be expressing themselves through arts, sports, or sharing their love for mathematics. I have 19 wonderful students in my Special Education classroom. The students in my classroom have disabilities ranging from Specific Learning Disabilities to Autism Spectrum Disorder to Emotional Behaviors. In addition, 10 of my 19 students are English Language Learners. My wonderful school is located in the heart of South Los Angeles, and many of the families are considered low-income. Within the neighborhood, the students are exposed to a variety of challenges on a daily basis (gang violence, poverty, drugs, etc.). However, none of these factors hinder their passion for learning.
My Project
More than half of my students receive free and reduced-price lunches. That means that many come to school hungry and have a hard time concentrating on academics when their stomachs are growling. I would like to provide healthy snacks during those times when my students need them to provide extra energy and nourishment that they need.
Because our school is located in a low socioeconomic community, fundings and donations are limited.
I would like to provide my students the materials they need for health, wellness, and care. As I try to instill a healthy habit for my students to learn, we need your help! Your kind support and donation will make a huge difference in providing my students the opportunity to learn and stay focus in class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
