Help me give my students the protection they need with a sneeze guard at our small group table, and a HEPA filter to keep the air around them safe to breathe so we can all learn together!
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
What makes this group of students so special is that they are some of the most resilient children I've ever had the privilege of teaching. Most of my students live in temporary housing, shelters, or doubled up with other families and overcrowded apartments. None the less my students show up every single day ready to learn with a smile on their faces.
My students represent many different backgrounds and ethnicities bringing their vibrant cultures into the classroom to share with each other and me as their teacher.
Many of my students require a lot of extra attention and seating options to help them succeed in the classroom. These students have so much personality and this year I have the privilege of working with them for a second year in a row! These kids deserve the world.
My Project
These times are unprecedented but our student's ability to learn should not be. Through this project my students will have the necessary protective equipment like masks, sneeze guards, and HEPA filters so they can be successful in the classroom. My students deserve to feel safe and not have the anxiety of wondering if they are going to get sick. Should we have to transition to home learning the extra supplies with each student having their own individual carrying case will make sure that learning can still be equitable even from home.
I can't tell you how many of my students don't have access to pencils and crayons in their own homes.
This project would ensure that they have not only the tools they need for being in the classroom but for when and if they are learning from home. The helps make the transition between in person and remote learning smooth and equitable for my second graders who truly deserve every opportunity to be successful.
