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
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” by Dr. Seuss. I love this quote because a book can take the reader to a magical land or across the globe. My school is located in the city of Camden.
The city Camden is known as one of the poorest cities in the nation whose public schools are well below the national and state standards.
In order to further embed the college dreams in our youth and bring up the state standard, I believe it starts with reading. It is vital for students to be exposed to a good literary text whether it's on a Kindle book or plain, old paperback.
My Project
Right now, the students are sitting on the floor in order to practice their STEM activities, reading, and math. The new table and chairs will support their backs as they work timelessly on their classwork. The new common core standards call for new systems and structures that engage students through an inquiry-based methodology. The current furniture is designed for a more formal setting for learning where students have less movement. Students were once expected to sit in perfect rows in individual seats. Now research has shown, that students must be engaged and be able to collaborate with each other. These new seats will allow the students to relax, work, and sit in a comfortable, controlled area.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
