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'm proud to say that I work at the school that I attended as a child. It is a high poverty, Title I school in New York. All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

My students are faced with many challenges inside and outside the classroom.

They struggle personally and academically and have diverse needs. My class consists of general education students and children who receive special education services. Students living in homeless shelters travel from other parts of the city to our school every day. Families that are new to the country (English new language learners) have the added burden of learning to communicate in English.

Despite the challenges they face daily, my students are filled with energy, are happy, and are motivated to learn. They are scientists, singers, mathematicians, leaders, comedians, readers, writers, teachers, dancers, me, and you; they are everything!

My goal is to make my students' learning (home or in school) environment comfortable and their learning experiences, creative and challenging to prepare them for the future. I want my students to feel safe from the outside world, so they can focus on learning and simply being kids.

My Project

This project includes supplies to keep our classroom clean and germ free. Most of my students have been out of the school building for almost two years. Parents and staff are nervous about the return.

I want to ensure that our environment is clean and free of germs.

This project includes gloves, hand soap, cleaner wipes, a broom, wet mop and tissues to help us keep germs at bay. My third graders are responsible for keeping our space clean and welcoming for all. We share many items throughout the day as we work and learn. Desks and other shared items and surfaces have to be wiped down several times a day. Having these items will help us get the jobs done so we can learn and share knowledge, not germs.
