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.
My students are a mix of personalities. Some are shy and others are gregarious. Some are serious and some are goofy. They are still testing out their personas, so to speak, but they are a tough bunch. Maybe they have to be since we are located in the South Bronx. We are a Title I school in a not yet gentrified area. It is unfortunate that our students have to walk past addicts and discarded drug paraphernalia on their way to school.
Our school provides them with a sanctuary that allows them to grow and learn.
We are 6-12 school so we have the opportunity to watch these students grow from children to young adults. Since we are a relatively small school, we get to know the students, their siblings, and their families. There is a good sense of community at our school.
My Project
I would like to provide my students with pens and notebooks to replace and replenish the supplies with which they started this school year. As we approach our winter break, more and more students are missing pens and pencils, and their notebooks are running out of pages.
These basic school supplies are necessary for academic achievement.
My students need pens and pencils to write notes, copy down information, and communicate ideas. These are the basic tools of education for every student. When students come to school without the necessary supplies, it makes it more difficult for them to succeed academically.
