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
OurSchool is located in Chicago, IL. It houses our preschool through 8th grade deaf program. Our students come from various neighborhoods, as our program is a cluster program for the deaf on the southwest side of Chicago. Our students are deaf and hard of hearing. They have severe language delays due to their hearing loss. Reading and language are very difficult for them so they read years below grade level due to these delays. I teach 4th through 8th grade deaf students in this program and as my students become older, it is a real challenge to find reading materials that are topic appropriate, interesting and motivating but written at a level that they can read and comprehend.
My Project
I teach 4th through 8th grade deaf students. It is sometimes difficult for children to think about the world's problems and what they can do to help solve some of those problems. We will be continuously working on how they can make the world a better place through service learning ideas and projects.
By providing picture books for my students to access, throughout the year we will be continually discussing things they can do, both big and small, to change the world and make it a better place.
We will design service learning projects based on their ideas generated in the classroom.
More than half 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
