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
As a teacher in a low-income high poverty school district, my students are faced with challenges both in and out of school. Parents struggle to provide them with the necessities to start the school year with and many students come to school without a pencil everyday. Even with these challenges my students come eager to learn. They are funny, smart, and active. Many of them are currently on free or reduced lunch meaning they get help to pay for lunch everyday. This never stops them from having a positive attitude.
The moment they walk in my door is the opportunity to change their lives.
I can’t control what happens to them at home, but I am able to control their school life. I do this by creating a safe, positive, and loving environment. They are faced with challenges everyday, but never let you see it, they strive to give their best always.
My Project
In our classroom we do not have enough chairs and we lack chairs around our horseshoe table. My students must take their chairs from their desks and bring it with them when they meet me at the horseshoe table. I would like to eliminate this problem and get enough seating around our classroom. These stools will help with seating and space within our classroom.
We also do not have a functional pencil sharpener.
As of right now my students must take the time to sharpen their pencils by hand or must ask a student around them. A sharpener will help save time.
More than half of students from low‑income households
