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.
I am a language arts teacher and the school's Media Specialist. My school used to have one of the biggest circulations of all the middle schools in our county, until Hurricane Irma hit. It had to be closed due to issues with water intrusion and exposure to humidity. The Media Center not only houses books, but classrooms, like mine, as well. My students have just been allowed back inside, but it can really use some help.
My students attend a Title 1 school in South Florida where 90% of students are on free or reduced-price lunch.
We are one of the oldest schools in an urban area and our students can use some help - even if it is small. We would love to clean up our room and maintain it that way for not only our classmates to use, but the rest of the school population as well which uses it for before and after school tutoring.
My Project
We are going to print some pictures, colorize some, bring photos, share student art work... to frame and make our Library/Media Center appealing again.
Hurricane Irma tried to rain on our parade...but we're gonna dance to our own tune instead.
She was big , but we can be bigger.
We need some new headphones for our computers (our other ones got wet) and a few art/office supplies to help create new visuals.
Soon all the students will be back checking out books and using our computers.
We'll be reading and writing up a storm of our own! We have cool books, now we just need to make our Library/Media center a nice place to hang out again ...and a place where we can be creative.
