Celebrating 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 are all from low income families that do not have a lot of resources. My school is pretty diverse, serving a variety of ethnicities. There are many students who are English Language Learners.
My students are eager to learn!
They love to do hands on activities. That is when they are most engaged.
I work hard to build their confidence as learners because many of them have a hard time believing in themselves and believing that they can learn and be successful! I not only want them to learn, but to build the social skills and self confidence they need to be successful in school and in life.
My Project
Most teachers at my school don't have working pencil sharpeners which is a challenge because students go through many pencils a day and there are sometimes not enough sharp pencils for the day so students don't have anything to write with and cannot complete their work. Teachers can only sharpen pencils when they can borrow a sharpener from someone else, and there are very few available.
Students should have access to sharp pencils so that they can continue learning throughout the day.
Teachers need pencil sharpeners in order to make sure students can sharpen pencils during the day so that they don't run out.
