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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My middle school science class comprises a diverse group of predominantly Hispanic and Haitian students, many of whom are bilingual or trilingual, with English as their second language. Their resilience and eagerness to learn inspire me daily.

The requested resources will significantly enhance their learning experience.

The school supplies will ensure active engagement in hands-on experiments, while the speakers will make complex topics more accessible through multimedia elements. A cordless vacuum will maintain our cozy reading corner, fostering a love for literature, and classroom decor will create an inviting environment conducive to learning.

My goals for this project are to boost engagement and comprehension by catering to diverse learning styles, fostering a deeper passion for science through technology integration, and creating a comfortable, culturally rich learning environment that promotes academic excellence.

Despite facing socioeconomic challenges as a Title I school in Miami, Florida, my students exhibit resilience and determination. Their cultural diversity and linguistic richness enrich our classroom community, motivating me to provide them with the best possible educational opportunities.
