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
The second-grade students at my school are enthusiastic learners who are filled with curiosity. They are highly energetic and active learners.
They are very motivated by hands-on experiences.
My class is 95 percent African-American with a majority from low-income families and a few English language learners who learn better with hands-on and real-life experiences in all subject areas. Our school is located in Canarsie - a great neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.
Our school is a Title I school, and only allows a small amount of funding for classroom supplies and trips. It's never enough to cover the needs of our students in the classroom.
These children have amazing abilities, but just don’t have the resources to push their learning to the next level. They come into a classroom with the bare minimum of school supplies and knowledge. We do our best in order to make sure they achieve their potential. These supplies will help us to give them what they deserve! These students will be given the opportunity to shine and succeed in the upcoming school year.
My Project
Mentor texts are examples of good writing for student writers. Students learn to include craft moves in their writing by looking at different mentor texts. We will read these texts as a class with the purpose of studying the author's craft, or the way the author uses words and structures in their writing. The students will then try some of those authors craft moves in their own writing. We will be using certain books specifically for narrative, information, or opinion writing. Students will be using these books to also learn from home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
