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

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Most of our families live day by day; their sole focus is surviving through to the next day. They stress about where they are going to sleep at night and when they will have their next meal. That being said, education is understandably not always their primary focus. Yet, my students still show up every day and give it their all. They are a brave bunch that never stops fighting to be the best they can be.

My students are eager to learn despite the hardships they face on a daily basis.

Many of them have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. The typical student in my class reads at a kindergarten grade level, and many struggle with basic phonics and number sense. Even though I'm not able to change their home lives, I can certainly help change their experiences during the school day. By creating this project, I'm hoping to inspire my students to become lifelong learners.

My Project

My students need white boards and write-and-wipe boards to promote differentiated instruction; Magna-Tiles to increase their understanding of 3D shapes; lap desks and a comfy carpet to promote flexible seating; book bins, caddies, laminating sheets, and labels to organize their work; and other materials to enhance their learning as we transition to the workshop model.

I believe that the classroom environment is an essential aspect of student engagement and achievement.

By giving my students the option of flexible seating, the lap desk and carpet, they will be more engaged. It is so important that students are given a comfortable environment in which to learn. Also, having an organized classroom and work space will allow students to remain focused on their work throughout the day. The book bins and caddies will be an essential organization tool as we transition to a workshop model of teaching and learning. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also help to increase their academic achievement.
