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

My students are incredible. I have 24 motivated English language learners who are eager to learn. My students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds with limited resources available to them. We are a Title I, Performance Improvement School, with one hundred percent of our students on the free lunch program. Many parents work two jobs and are struggling to support their families.

Though their outside environment may not be conducive to learning, my students have an insatiable love of learning.

I know that if we provide them with the right support, resources, and opportunities, they can experience success.

My Project

As you know, every child has the ability to learn, but the way children learn and how much knowledge they can absorb can vary considerably. I have students who are mainstreamed into my classroom 4 days a week.

Several studies have suggested that including children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms improves academic achievement, self-esteem and social skills.We are always in need of copy paper for any activities we do during our Mainstream English Language Development time.

The erasers are great because they do not rip the newsprint we use and we need more dry erase markers for our boards.

The binders are necessary to keep their materials in order when they are mainstreamed for MELD (Mainstream English Language development). Last, the stickers will be used as a reward for a job well done. All students love stickers so positive reinforcement is always welcome!
