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

As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students like to work together and learn from each other and love being able to express themselves in their own way.

Many of them are being raised in low-income households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status.

These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical.” From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

By having enough well fitting masks for students they can feel safe while at school and they can focus more on learning. Students don't need to worry about if they broke their mask or if their masks fit them well. Also, by supplying individual hand sanitizer they can easily sanitize at their desks instead of waiting in line which will cut down on wasted time in the classroom.

Books about people like them in the classroom help to establish a safe space for students to grow and learn from each other.

Students love to listen to new books in class and it is more meaningful when they can relate to the context of the story.
