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 Students

I have a vast array of charismatic students with personalities to match. They come from economically challenged backgrounds of predominantly hispanic descent. Trouble is around every neighborhood corner for many of my students, and personal hardships abound, but their aptitude, voracious intellect, and resilience are their own rewards; and the fruits of their labor become readily evident on a daily basis.

My Project

Being a special education teacher, I have become all too familiar with the special circumstances that hinder student learning. One that consistently rears its ugly head is light sensitivity. Consequently, I put low wattage Christmas lights around the room and bought a handful of lamps to clamp to each desk. However, I need more lamps to accommodate all my students as the rest are left in the dark.

Help me level the playing field for my students with light sensitivity.

Help me shine a low-wattage light so that all of students have a chance at learning.

Grades 6-8
