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 are living in the heart of Waikiki, the center of tourism on Oahu, Hawaii. As a Title I school, with 65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the need for resources is very high due to school funding. My class is made up of 11 English Language Learners. Most of my students come from Micronesia or Pacific islands. This is usually their first experience in a school setting. Their language might be limited but they have a desire to learn. There are two special education students who are a big part of our class Ohana (family). They bring perseverance to our class.
Students have a strong sense of curiosity about the world, yet their curiosity is limited due to limited supplies.
Most of my students come to school with the desire to learn and achieve their goals. They want to explore the world around them and learn about culture and diversity. Hawaii is a melting pot of culture and traditions. From the moment they come to class, they are excited to learn.
My Project
In order for all students especially my special education students to be successful in the classroom, students need to be prepared and ready to learn with basic school supplies. My project aims to have all my students including my special needs students ready to learn with the right materials and have the classroom properly equipped with everything they need. I want to provide the most successful environment.
All students should have the right to learn and access to basic school materials.
Students need color paper, erasers, dry erasers, markers, and crayons to do fun STEM projects and activities. Students need a mailbox to keep themselves more organized. This also will provide a more structured environment for my special needs students. This project will allow all my students to have the materials they need to be long-time learners.
