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 creative, take initiative in their own learning, and are curious about the world! They love hands-on, engaging projects that challenge them to think outside of the box in not only their solutions but the way they communicate the information that they just explored. They are enthusiastic learners and are full of questions.

Many students in my classroom have no access to technology at home, and our school provides them with opportunities to gain these vital 21st-century skills.

Our school is set in urban Los Angeles. Many students speak two or more languages and are the children of immigrant parents. They have a strong work ethic and work diligently to make their future a success.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning. The third-grade team at my school incorporates a variety of learning styles, differentiated lesson planning, and alternative seating and learning opportunities to ensure that each student's needs are met. We also use computational thinking strategies in our lessons to get them to think. They are an amazing group of kids, and I can't wait to help them grow as citizens of the world. They are our future!

My Project

I have been a teacher for over 24 years. I have seen the world of education change greatly throughout this journey. Last year was one for the books. My students spent their entire third-grade year behind a computer screen. To prepare them for this adventure, I sent many resources home, from scissors to book boxes. Now, a new year is upon us, and the kids are coming back to school.

My future third-graders need basic school materials to guide them to success this coming school year.

Each student will need their own box of materials to help with social distancing.

These materials are vital to our success this coming school year. My students need whiteboards to show their mathematical thinking while solving problems. They will also need paper trays and pencil pouches to keep their material separate from their classmates. These materials will make small group time and group projects run more smoothly as they will be able to move from station to station with ease. The boxes of Kleenex will help keep the classroom sanitary and a safe place to learn. Even though I have been teaching for a long time, I feel like a new teacher because I sent my supplies home with last year's kids. Would you please donate to my classroom to help the kids start the new year right?
