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 the most amazing students in the world; however, they are struggling with the coronavirus pandemic. Many of my students have or have had the virus and thus, cannot do their remote learning. They are sad, exhausted, drained, and suffering. Unfortunately, we have had a number of parents who have succumbed to the virus, and my colleagues and I are doing everything we can to support these students, both emotionally and otherwise by sending food and anything we can get our hands on. My students are from low income housing, and many are stuck in an apartment, with one laptop that the school has provided to them. Some students don't have internet and are sending their work in by handwriting it and taking pictures. They have to share laptops with their siblings and even help their siblings with homework. My students are also the caretakers of the family and are home while their parents are making ends meet. This is a scary and depressing time, especially for the students whose only escape from their home lives is school. My students would benefit from pens, pencils, and other essentials during this time.

My Project

These materials are essentials that my students do not have in bulk. They are from low income housing and need all the resoruces possible. By supplying pens, pencils, and highlighters, my students without internet will be able to hand write their assignments and share them with me through pictures. Sticky notes will help with annotating and can also act as a book mark for students. Every student has a book they are reading and have hand selected from my school's library. Some students reached out and asked for additional books, which are the books in this order. Please help me with this project, as students need these essentials at home.
