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.
I teach a group of twenty-six first grade students in one of the cities with the highest crime in the nation. All the students at my school site receive a free lunch. A full 97% of my school's student population is Hispanic, and most of them are first-generation in the United States. At least 15% of my students are newcomers to the country. School is one of the only places in which my students interact with someone who speaks academic English.
Living and attending school in a highly impoverished urban setting, my students are not exposed to many educational experiences outside of the classroom.
Exposing my students to different types of learning while keeping them engaged and entertained is very important to me.
My Project
Having copy paper available to make copies is highly necessary. In past years, my site has had difficulty keeping a working Xerox machine. Not this year, but this year paper is lacking. I have gotten very creative and have students do much more writing, but there are some occasions on which a lesson would move much more smoothly if copy paper were available to provide students with copies.
Please allow me as a teacher and my students to have more effective lessons without having to worry about not being able to make copies.
We need white copy paper so that I can Xerox material and have it ready to use in our daily lessons.
