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 Project

Access to clocks, timers and essential supplies plays a pivotal role in fostering student-driven learning and autonomy within the classroom, particularly in an environment where my students are predominately emerging bilinguals in a STEM-focused school. By providing students with clocks and timers, they gain a tangible tool to manage their time effectively, encouraging them to take ownership of their learning process. These resources enable students to allocate their time efficiently, setting goals and deadlines for their tasks, which is essential for cultivating self-regulation skills and fostering a sense of responsibility for their academic endeavors.

Access to a wide array of supplies empowers students to express their creativity and explore their interests freely.

In an art classroom, where choice and autonomy are paramount, having ample supplies ensures that students can experiment, innovate, and pursue their artistic visions without constraints. From hot glue guns to erasers, these supplies serve as catalysts for student-driven exploration and expression.

For students at our school, the impact of this donation goes beyond just the art classroom. It instills a culture of autonomy and self-directed learning that transcends disciplinary boundaries. The ability to make choices and exercise autonomy in one area of their education can have ripple effects throughout their academic journey, empowering them to take initiative and ownership of their learning across all subjects.

In a border-city where my students may face unique challenges related to language and cultural adaptation. Providing them with resources that support autonomy and creativity becomes even more crucial. It fosters a sense of belonging and agency, enabling students to navigate their educational journey with confidence and resilience.

This donation has the potential to profoundly impact my students' lives, empowering them to become self-directed learners, confident creators, and active participants in their education and beyond.
