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

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

Due to COVID-19, in NYC all public schools suddenly closed in March. Many of the students did not have technology to participate in remote learning. Because of this, many of my current students are not reading on grade level. Having these phonics resources can enhance their learning. They could use these resources to practice some of the skills I teach them during our phonics block. Having these materials will help them improve their decoding and spelling skills, which will then help them improve their reading levels to meet grade expectations by June.
