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 Project
As a teacher in a Title I elementary school, I find myself not providing the vital tools for all my learners. More than seventy percent of our campus receives free or reduced-priced lunch, and a lot of my students don't have access to enrichment opportunities outside of the classroom. My inquisitive, active learners are constantly reaching out to build their knowledge for a successful future.
Although we live in an era where technology has become a necessary component for our students in education today, it is still important that our students are allowed to express themselves through hands-on learning.
Not all students learn best through screens or digital tools—many thrive when they can touch, organize, and physically engage with their learning materials. The pencil pouches and folders will not only help my students keep their English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science materials organized, but they will also reduce paper waste, encouraging environmental responsibility at an early age. Additionally, the use of abacuses will give students the opportunity to interact with math in a tactile, meaningful way. By moving beads and visually seeing place values and quantities, students can strengthen their number sense and build a more solid foundation in mathematical concepts. These resources support a balanced classroom where both technology and traditional, hands-on methods are used to meet the diverse needs of all learners.
More than half of students from low‑income households
