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

I will be working as a first-year teacher in about a month. My school services students who live in a high-need community. Aside from facing academic challenges, my students face challenges outside of school on daily basis. Being part of a school in need, my students will already be limited to classroom resources, and being a first year teacher will add to this limitation. At the same time, my students are cable of being successful in their academic careers.

They persevere, and fighting through challenges is the norm.

However, we are not afraid to ask for a hand when we need one. My students need a classroom that promotes a safe environment, and a well resourceful classroom, where they can continue to fight for success.

My Project

Help us get our class up and running! As a first year teacher, I do not want to limit my students, but instead I want to provide my students with a respectable amount of resources. These resources include a variety of fiction and non-fictions books which my students can read at grade level or explore the wonders of literature. Another resource that will benefit my students, are write and wipe lap boards in which they will use throughout whole group instruction.

It's time for chance, and we need the resources!

Overall, I am asking for books and write and wipe lap board that should be available to all students, in all classrooms. However, being part of a high-need school, we are limited to even the basic materials. We will persevere regardless, but we are hoping for less limitations throughout our journey.
