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
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." A day in my class typically starts with high-five and a bright "GOOD MORNING!" While enjoying breakfast in the classroom, we share stories about our weekend or the night before.
My 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students come to class with the eagerness to learn!
When they walk into the classroom, they have an opportunity to truly be themselves, whether it be expressing themselves through arts, sports, or sharing their love for mathematics. I have 19 wonderful students in my Special Education classroom. The students in my classroom have disabilities ranging from Specific Learning Disabilities to Autism Spectrum Disorder to Emotional Behaviors. In addition, 10 of my 19 students are English Language Learners. My wonderful school is located in the heart of South Los Angeles, and many of the families are considered low-income. Within the neighborhood, the students are exposed to a variety of challenges on a daily basis (gang violence, poverty, drugs, etc.). However, none of these factors hinder their passion for learning.
My Project
I have requested comfortable seating for our classroom library. The couch and bean bags will create a comfortable and engaging atmosphere that will allow my students to enjoy reading even more. Most of my students do not get the opportunity to go to the library. The only experience they have is at school. I want to build a classroom library that will capture their imagination with exploration and many discoveries! As important as it is to teach reading, it is just as essential for students to develop a desire and interest in reading! Please help me do so by providing them an atmosphere that encourages students to read, whether it is sitting down, laying out, or even upside down!
Learning to read is important, but enjoying to read is what I want to promote in my classroom.
I want students to look forward to spending time in the library, where they can truly build on their imagination. Your donations will truly make a big difference in my classroom and bring a smile on my students' faces!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
