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

My students are wonderful students. They are so eager to learn. They adhere to classroom rules and generally stay on task. However, as we know, students today are under enormous pressure. The expectation set for students today is very high. Every year, students in my school are expected to reach the NYS goals for their grade regardless of the challenges that they face due to their circumstances. Many of my students have economic challenges and lack parental support. As a teacher, it is frustrating to know that many of our students are at a disadvantage, but must still meet their state standards and expectations. The reality is that not all students have writing material at home. I also have students with IEPs and English Language Learners.

These students need to develop and catch up to their grade expectations and these materials can help develop their writing potential.

My Project

Many of the students at our school come from families that are low poverty. And, many of the supplies that we need the children to have each and every day to be successful, their parents can’t afford. Not having the supplies at their disposal, makes them feel embarrassed: borrowing pencils and paper, crayons and markers from the kids around them only makes it worse. When other children know that you’re “poor”, you become an easy target and no child deserves that kind of humiliation. Especially when it’s so easily avoided.

The supplies that I am requesting will be at every table, for every child, every day.

They include pencils, markers, crayons, notebooks, and glue sticks.
