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 Project

My 6th-grade students come from a small, high-poverty city in the Coachella Valley. My class is the only 6th grade Dual Language class in our elementary school and has been a part of the bilingual program since Kindergarten. In fact, I was their kindergarten teacher as well and I am excited to help them finish their elementary dual language experience.

Not only do my students come from high-poverty households but they are also the only 6th-grade class to complete our school's dual language program.

Our school is over 100 years old and is the center of the community with over 90% of our students being English Language Learners (with Spanish being their first language) as well as migrant students of parents that work in the agriculture of the Coachella Valley. The Coachella Valley is a desert, with temperatures over 100 degrees for over 6 months a year. Because of our low-income population, insulated, high-quality water bottles that keep water cold, are not generally provided. Also, because of the intense heat, water fountains produce hot water as well.

Students will use their new water bottles daily in class and will be able to actually enjoy their physical education classes since they will be able to cool off after class. Keeping hydrated, especially when it is hot outside, will also help my students learn better. Please help make this a reality for them.
