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 in the heart of Southern California in a high need, low income, Title 1 public school. My students enthusiastically come to school inquisitive and excited to learn.
Every child in my classroom comes to school with unique life challenges, educational, and social needs.
As their teacher, it is my goal to differentiate the instruction to inspire each and every student to achieve at the highest level possible. I thrive on seeing those "Ah ha" moments and watching their eyes light up with understanding.
My Project
Scholastic News is an invaluable resource that keeps coming all year long. The students get so excited anticipating every new issue. These subscriptions contain Informational Text in Science, Social Studies, Geography, Health, and the Arts. In addition, it has high interest, current events and topics relevant to students. It gives the students reading comprehension practice and helps practice other skills like analyzing maps and graphs that helps them achieve at higher levels.
I am also requesting a set of black and colored ink. In the classroom, I use my printer almost daily to copy extra resources I need for lessons or that "one paper" a student lost. The school does not pay for the ink we use in our printers and it is expensive to continue replacing the cartridges.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
