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
We are studying New York City, but have no resources to learn from.
We work in a public school within New York City.
Most of our students come from low socio-economic status families. Our classroom is made up of special education students and English Language Learners. Many of our students parents do not speak English, as a result the students struggle with learning.
My Project
We are going to study New York City, but we have no resources within our classroom. We are also limited to one trip a year, which means we do not have the option to allow for hands on experiences within New York City. Having books that we can read and illustrations we can look at will help our students get to know the city they live in.
Our students do not get many opportunities to visit all the great places within New York City, even though they live here.
They know little about our great city. Teaching a Social Studies unit will expose them to New York City and hopefully spark their interest.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
