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 children with mild to moderate learning disabilities in a high-poverty school where all of our students receive free breakfast, healthy snacks, and lunch. Through no actions of their own, these kids have been dealt a hand that will make their school career more challenging than for some children, in more ways than one.

The challenges that some of our students may face are a lack of resources, such as transportation, or other economic hardships that may result in their family becoming homeless.

Families in this situation may have to live with relatives or friends. Our students who find themselves in this situation are guaranteed attendance at our school, even being provided with bus fare so that they can make it to school daily, no matter where they are staying.

Our school is filled with hardworking, dedicated teachers and staff who meet the challenges of working with an at-risk population on a daily basis. We work very hard at creating a sense of community for our children, their parents, and of course the staff of our school. Thank you for your support in this endeavor!

My Project

We have some simple small group rules for our intensive intervention programs, and the first rule is to be on time. We are at the end of the first quarter, and I still have upper elementary students who don't know when their group time actually occurs according to the analog clock on the classroom wall.

With their own digital watches with daily alarms, my 2nd through 6th graders will be able to independently come to our scheduled groups on time.

They will be able to check their own device, daily, to fully understand how to tell time. Time literacy is an important skill that will affect their financial success in the future as they try to secure and keep a job. With these watches and specific instruction in time-telling, they will learn this valuable life skill.

In addition to the normal time-telling functions, the Time Timer watches will be used for a couple of my younger students who have more difficulty with focus and task persistence. The analog watches are for kids who "graduate" from the digital watches. Your donation and support to this project will allow my students to become self-motivated learners, and will inspire them to learn to tell when it's time to come to the resource room with their own personal digital wrist watch!
