Help me give my students a learning boost to grade level after the Covid 19 pandemic! Learning virtually for a year caused a big learning gap in basic skills that need to be recovered.

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
This year, I am so lucky to have a wonderful, amazingly curious group of sixth graders who have an inner drive to excel and a passion for learning. My students are truly amazing learners. They come to class excited to learn and prepared to do their best.
Armed with the thirst for knowledge, they do have obstacles outside of my classroom that they fight against every day.
My school is located in a low socioeconomic area of Anaheim, California. Most of my students live under the poverty level, receive free or reduced-priced breakfast and lunch, and live in government-subsidized housing. Hunger, overcrowded living conditions, and inadequate supplies to aid in their learning at home are all problems that these children face in their lives outside of school.
My classroom is a place where they can feel safe and supported and have tools and technology to help them master learning objectives. I also try to present these learners with as many hands-on experiences to cement the learning that happens during school hours.
My Project
Covid 19 really impacted the growth of students' learning worldwide, and now teachers are trying to fill in that missing gap with the basic skills that virtual teaching didn't succeed at. Nonfiction text that is high interest and easy to understand, like Scholastic News, will boost my students' understanding of basic comprehension, vocabulary, text structure, and summary skills. The math workbooks will also cement the critical foundational skills that are necessary for higher level math to build upon. These important resources will be used in class and at home to really close the gap that the worldwide pandemic caused when schools were forced to teach online. Thanks so much!
