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.
This year, I am teaching Social Studies for 2nd - 5th Grade in Springfield, MA.Imagine that you're an at-risk elementary school student, with skills far below grade level.
You want more than anything to improve, but you're against all odds.
You come to school every day without basic materials, such as pencils and your classroom is ill-equipped as well. Not to mention coming to school with heavy minds, minimal sleep, and rumbling tummies.
I have been lucky enough this year to have an amazing batch of students. While I have only known them for a few months, I can already tell that they are some of the most awe-inspiring and courageous people you'll ever meet. Young minds coming of age in the inner city, the vast majority come to school on any given day with a multitude of problems resting on their shoulders. Still, they come in ready to learn. To accomplish their goals, though, they need a few things: encouragement, support and motivation... and most of all, basic materials.
My Project
As of right now, my classroom has old, worn out textbooks, 6 desks, and some chairs. As a teacher, I want to provide my students with materials for them to use during lessons, small group activities and small group lessons. With your help, these materials will enhance my lessons and provide support to students as we learn about the world outside of the walls of the school.
One of the materials we are in need of is an interactive globe.
This product will allow me to show students a visual representation of continents, oceans, countries, and their locations. I have also added some fun games for students to do during their free time after their work is completed. Many classrooms have centers which provide extra focus on subject areas being taught in the lesson. I want to provide the same idea in social studies, however, we only have the materials I have purchased on my own.
Another focus of mine is to provide students with flexible seating to complete their work. My students enjoy working on my classroom rug, but I would like to provide more places for students to complete work. This is why I have added a few bean bag chairs and mini rugs for students to sit on.
