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
My students are some of the most resilient, energetic, and inspiring young people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Many of them come from single-parent homes, most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at our Title I school, and a large number of them have had to endure homelessness. They are also leaders and role models for the younger siblings they help care for while parents are at work.
Regardless of the struggles that they may face, my students still find a way to show up to class smiling every single day, virtually now during distant learning.
They are excited about their future and all of the possibilities that await them; while they are aware it will take a lot of work and dedication to get there. I have never met a more capable group of young people.
My Project
Being away from the physical school, a physical classroom, a physical teacher, and your physical friends, can bring a lot of burdens. Finding time to relieve that stress, an outlet you can do in solitude or with the embrace of loved ones, can be the difference our students need.
These Origami kits, will allow our students to find that outlet and bring a sense of normal back into their lives.
With each creature created, our students will be relieving their stress while creating something they could be proud of. Whether they complete different creatures by themselves, or make it a family fun event, our students will master different standards in math, geometry, language arts with following directions. Even though Origami may seem simple, it teaches our students multiple concepts while alleviating their stress. With your support, our students could begin their life as an origamist.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
