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
As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, I know that many of my students face challenges in and out of school and in their homes. School is a place of refuge for some, and I want to provide ample opportunities for them to shine where they are in their development. As their teacher, I see a group of wonderful children full of energy and a willingness to jump in and try new things.
They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical".
From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on.
My Project
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. Children need alternative places to sit and work. A large carpet area is a great place for students to work alone or share with each other their ideas and assignments. Students want to learn with friends and this separate area will help them have a place in our class that will give them space to do this.
Besides using the floor to read, they also will be able to sit comfortably and spread out on the floor to use our prized STEM buckets that they so desperately love to explore.
Read-aloud time will be much more fun with a colored spot to sit on.
More than half of students from low‑income households
