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

The students here at our middle school face many challenges in their day-to-day life yet come to class with a positive attitude ready to learn. The majority of our students are of Hispanic descent, many of who have only been in the United States for less than three years. The poverty level of our students' families is heartbreaking. During virtual learning, I have been personally delivering goodies and supplies to many of my students. Some of their living conditions are so poor that I find myself in tears.

We are doing our best to support the young Hispanic students facing today's challenges by providing them with the education and materials needed for them to succeed.

We are preparing to bring our students back into the school building and my hope is to meet them with the resources that our school budget does not allow for. I want to show the students that the world cares about them and believes in them.

My Project

As our students do their best to learn this year's science standards in this unfamiliar hybrid school environment it is more important than ever to recognize their hard work. My students primarily live in below-poverty-level households and are of Hispanic descent. My goal is to provide an environment where my kids can forget the world outside our classroom walls and all feel equally loved and appreciated.

These Pokémon cards and other prizes will help encourage and inspire young Hispanic students to dig deeper into the Scientific Method and feel rewarded for their hard work.

My goal for this school year is to let my students see firsthand that hard work pays off. They will use their PBIS points to earn these gift cards and prizes. Giving these students the satisfaction of buying their own meal is a rewarding experience in itself. My dream is that these children never have to be shown that hard work pays off, but they know it by the world that they create.
