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
Working in a Title I school can be very challenging, especially to our students who are in temporary housing, travel far distances to attend school, and are in foster care. In my Integrated Co-Teaching classroom, it is imperative to tap into the different learning styles of each student through visuals, technology, dialogue, and more. However, with minimal resources, it can be difficult.
My students want to be able to learn in a classroom that has flexible learning styles and accessible materials to work towards their goals.
They enjoy being able to use different techniques and strategies throughout their learning. My goal, as their teacher, is to inspire them to be the best they can be and to create a positive and safe environment for learning.
My Project
Allowing students to have experience with taking care of small animals could increase their responsibility levels, social and emotional learning, and have an appreciation for all animals. Our two guinea pigs, Willow and Oreo, are so excited to come back to the school building in September to see their friends again! It would be wonderful to have a new guinea pig cage with new water bottles and chew treats for our pets to feel at home.
Engaging students with small animals can promote kindness in our classroom.
Many students struggle to maintain healthy relationships with their peers. Providing them with special classroom pets can assist with working as a team and sharing responsibilities in the classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
