My students need 15 Pirate Books, Pirate Maps, Pirate Coins, and Pirate Rugs for Pirate Themed Events.

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 Students
My students are an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. I have many students that have a primary language other than English.
Many of my students are on free or reduced-price lunch; this allows them to have free or reduced cost breakfast as well, but they are not able to actually get to school early enough every day to utilize this opportunity.
They work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for career, and a few into the military.
We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs. The school is so incredibly diverse (Religion, Ethnicity, Socio-economic, Single Parent Homes, Grandparent Homes, etc), with many immigrants.
We have many of these immigrant families as part of our robotics and STEM programs and we try to create a new family for them within our town. We work diligently with these young people, many of whom are English Language Learners [ELL] and have left all of their friends at home to come here to the U.S. to start a new life.
My Project
The robotics team is working in conjunction with one of our community elementary schools to host a pirate themed event. The event is about Pirate Math, History, and Reading. Besides presenting the robot, the team will set up different pirate stations and be reading books and doing pirate math.
One of the main challenges is creating a fun space but with these large pirate tapestries, we can create an interesting pirate theme space for low cost.
The rugs will be added to make a nice seating area for the pirates to hear one of the fifteen books about pirates. The students will be participating by either listening to the pirate stories or reading the pirate stories aloud to one another. We will be doing pirate math with the gold coins and the students will be getting pirate prizes throughout pirate week.
More than half of students from low‑income households
