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 wonderful group of 3rd graders in an inner-city school where 100% of students receive free school lunch. Most of my students come from a family background where they lack academic and financial support to enrich their academic studies. The majority of these students come from families where parents are too busy working and lack the language or education to help them with their schoolwork. Therefore, the role of the teacher is extremely vital to their learning.
Despite these setbacks, my students are motivated learners who rely heavily on teachers and school support to help them become successful in life.
Our school motto is to be respectful, responsible, and scholarly. In order to help them achieve these goals, I must provide them with the best classroom environment, full of the proper supplies and guidance.
My Project
My students work hard in the classroom every single day and sometimes we don’t have enough time to go outside. Physical education is just as important as academic education but sadly we lack sports equipment. We are requesting handballs, mitts, and jump ropes. We have handball courts but not enough handballs. We share 1 handball so having more handballs will give students more time to actively play in small groups. The mitts are necessary because we play softball in the Spring. The upper grade students have mitts but they are too big. These youth mitts are the perfect size. Last, a class set of jump ropes will provide every single student an opportunity to get their heart rate up! A lot of my girls don’t like to play handball or softball so these jump ropes will make sure that they are active.
