School Away From Home

Help me give my students ways to learn at home with the same materials we have at school. The plush dolls will also be a way for me to talk to my students about emotions.

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

I teach in a low-income area of New York City. Our school was closed unexpectedly, and I never had a chance to say goodbye to my students or take learning materials home with me. Over the last few weeks, we have focused on providing our students with internet, devices, and a learning platform for them to use with their families.

My students have special needs and I would like to provide them with some of the same resources they are used to seeing in the classroom to assist them in feeling secure about themselves, their learning, and their new lives at home.

I am looking for ways to provide my students with stability while they are learning at home. The more my students recognize the materials I am using, the more engaged they will become.

With our school building being closed for the rest of the school year and a lot of unknowns about returning in September, my students need as much support as they can get. I hope these materials help me create a classroom away from our school home so I can support my students emotionally and academically.

My Project

The materials I have requested will help me create a classroom in my home. I will use the materials in my teacher videos when I go live to teach lessons, and in personalized videos, I make for my students daily. I plan on hanging materials like the place value chart and number bonds for students to see.

My students have special needs and the lack of routine and consistency has been extremely difficult for them.

It is essential for my students to be provided with manipulatives they can relate to.
