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
I teach an English Language Learners 3rd grade class in a Type 1 inner city school. Most students in this area live in poverty, struggle academically, have special needs, and do not speak English. Due to this, our school provides a 100 percent free lunch and breakfast to all students.
Even though these children live in difficult situations, they all have great potential.
My students are wonderful, exciting, and delightful. They amaze me and make me laugh! To help with their English development and academic success, I need more tools. My students are at different levels academically; most below grade level. A few of my students have medical issues and behavior plans, where they can't even sit in a chair for a few minutes. In addition, many come from broken homes and live in housing too small for all the occupants.
In order to assist my students to become successful academically, we need more tools of which my school has no budget at this time.
My Project
My students spend a lot of time and put their heart and soul into creating assignments and projects for math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. It's wonderful to see even my unmotivated students get so excited about their finished projects. For this reason, these special creations need to be preserved as ever lasting third grade memories to remind themselves in the future that "I can be successful in life. After all, look at what I did when I was in third grade!"
It breaks my heart when a student comes to tearfully show me the project that he/she put so much effort into but minutes later it got torn.
If my students work was laminated, this would preserve their inspirational projects and eliminate student tears. No longer would students come to me with destroyed art work and broken hearts. Now, laminated work can be tucked into backpacks to safely arrive home for parents to admire and keep for many years to come.
Your donation toward a classroom laminator and film pouches will preserve and protect a child's school memory.
More than half of students from low‑income households
