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
As a teacher in an inner-city public school, I've learned so much from my students' resilience. They inspire me to be the best teacher that I can be every day. I teach in the heart of the Bronx. My school is a Title I school. This means that my students are at risk of failure and live at or near poverty. Although they face hardships and cope with a variety of circumstances at home, they walk into my classroom with incredible enthusiasm and a desire to learn.
I teach 30 bright and enthusiastic children that deserve to have a fair and equal opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.
My Project
Our library is in desperate need of a kid friendly makeover. It is currently filled with bins and baskets that are too small making it difficult for students to find books. With a small collection of sturdier and larger book bins, we'll be able to organize our books better making it easier for students to find the books they want to read.
When students are provided with an organized and well-designed classroom library, they'll keep coming back for more books to read!
We are hoping to make this essential place in our classroom one that students will treasure and enjoy visiting because they can easily find what they're looking for.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
