Celebrating 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 teach a group of first and second grade special needs students in the Bronx, NY. It's a self contained bridge classroom with 12 students, 1 teacher, and 3 paraprofessionals. My students face a lot of challenges not only academically but in their personal life as well. It is essential that students not only excel academically but also gain the appropriate social and real-world skills that will facilitate their college and career readiness from this early age.
Jim Henson said, "Kids don't remember what you try to teach them, they remember what you are."
It is my goal to create a safe, warm, and kind community in my classroom. I strive to facilitate socio-emotional student learning through placing an emphasis on building my students' character as well as their skill sets.
My Project
Being in a low income neighborhood, we do not receive much funding for supplies. Unfortunately, the library in our classroom is very old, understocked, and out dated. Trying to get students excited about reading is difficult when there are very few 'exciting' books to choose from. Donating to this project would give my students the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of reading.
Providing my students with a more high interest library would help them grow their love for reading!
My goal is to show all of my students that EVERYONE can be a reader. Exposing them to more high interest books will increase their engagement, which in turn would help them reach their reading benchmarks.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
