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
"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.
The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing, and share with their peers.
They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.
My Project
My students are growing children that are committed to their learning process. However, there are inhibiting factors such as hunger and hygiene that impact their day-to-day learning.
I cannot expect my students to be ready to contribute to their educational experiences if they need to address personal hygiene or if they are hungry throughout the day.
By providing these resources our students will be able to focus more on what they're learning rather than self consciousness and concern regarding their peer interactions. The deodorant, toothpaste, and toothbrushes will be provided for students to help develop a personal hygiene routine. We also have a long stretch of time between their lunch break and dismissal; the snacks will be used for those who do not or cannot bring them to school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
