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
My students are amazing young teenagers! Most of these students reside in a poor, urban area that is grossly underfunded and, in some areas, lacking even the most basic of needs. Although many of them come from tough neighborhoods and lifestyles, they are resilient, smart, and full of life.
They are self-directed learners who yearn to know more about their past so they can change their future.
They are inquisitive, creative and thrive on learning new things. They have changed my world perhaps more than I have changed theirs. They will be the historians of the future; making their mark on society and changing the world for the better.
My Project
My students attend a school district that is under funded. They lack the essential, classroom supplies that every student should have made available to them: pencils, pencil sharpeners, tissues and water.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
The chart paper will be used to create anchor charts that reflect the discussions we have during our mini-lessons. The world globes will allow students to visualize the areas of the world that we are learning.
The cell phone storage area will allow students to have a safe place to store their cell phones and prevent them from becoming distracted throughout the lesson.
The mobile laptop desk will allow students to present their projects to their peers in front of the class while the headsets will allow students to work independently without distracting their other classmates.
Finally, the ball chairs will be used as an incentive for students that are self-directed and are achieving their individualized goals.
More than half 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
