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

I teach at an amazing school where the majority of my inner city students are from low socioeconomic backgrounds. They are a mixture of Hispanic and African American students. They are also students who have special needs and further benefit from additional resources. The majority of my students need an individualized education to meet their everyday needs. Our goal is to create a classroom that will prepare our students by giving them individual attention with the right tools in order to be successful.

My Project

Our classroom is in dire need of specialized instruction. Our students range from all different Mathematical abilities. We found that our class math book is either too difficult for 70% of my class- including students with special needs, and too easy for 10% of my gifted kids. Unfortunately, the school does not have funds to order different ability level Math books and we also no longer have access to printing or making copies. The printer and ink will allow me to print materials for students that need specialized instruction either in the classroom or at home. As a teacher, I believe each child is unique and deserves an equal education.
