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 have special needs and special abilities. They come from a community where they all receive free lunch and breakfast. Some can barely afford school supplies. I did what I could this year in buying things that could get them where they need to be, but it isn't nearly enough. With children who are two to three grade levels behind, I'm left to get them to a point of growth. Supplying my students with classroom resources will give them the hope they need to realize that success is at their fingertips.
All students have a promising future, but that future needs to be ignited by their inner potential.
I want to set my students up for success, and that setup involves getting them the resources. They need to be challenged and pushed to the next level. Each student is different, but sometimes we can expect them to fall into a cookie cutter mold that is far beyond realistic. As any passionate teacher would, I want the best for my students.
My Project
This book will help bring awareness to the social emotional needs of my students. Shouting at the Rain is a book that gives readers awareness of their emotions and what it means to know the difference between different emotions.
Students will learn what it means to be angry versus sad, broken versus whole, and abandoned versus loved.
And that they can weather any storm.
This book is a thoughtful exploration of how real friends treat one another, and the true meaning of family. Hunt has crafted another gentle, moving tale of love and loss: the value of the one and the importance of getting over the other.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
