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.
We are located in Houston, TX and serve students in grades 10-12, most of whom are low income, making us a Title I school.
Many of our students are at-risk, however, stereotypes that are associated with low income schools do not hinder us!
Our school has been nationally recognized for awards for excellence in urban education. In 2016, we won 2nd place at the National History Day research competition in Washington, D.C., and competed again in 2018! We work very hard to make our school a fun and motivating place for students. Upon meeting our kids, you would find them to be highly engaging and creative.
With recent budget cuts, the school is less able to provide the everyday supplies needed to support teachers in creating and maintaining interactive and engaging lessons. The materials requested in this project will support the classroom supply pool bank while also building up resources to help keep students 100% full and feeling welcomed and ready to learn!
My Project
The supplies requested in the project can be split into three categories: supplies for National History Day projects, supplies for classroom comfort, and general classroom supplies.
Our school has an award winning National History Day team, but participation can be very expensive for students.
Some supplies will be used to help students assemble and organize their project, including the pencil boxes, cardstock, and shelf. The carts will be used to help students carry their supplies to competition and to move heavy and large supplies, such as their exhibit board or performance props.
Some of the supplies will be used to ensure the students are comfortable and fed. The granola bars will be used to help feed students who missed breakfast, or who are unable to concentrate because they are hungry. The chair footies will be used to help the room stay quiet as students get up and move around. This will help students concentrate. The yoga balls and desk chairs will be used as alternative seating with the purpose of helping students stay comfortable.
Other supplies will be used in daily lessons. Chart paper and markers will be used for students to make posters, while the dry erase/ wet-erase markers and the dry-erase reusable pocket sleeves will be used for primary source documents and readings where students will be able to practice reading and writing strategies (while also helping to save paper). The clicker and wireless keyboard will be used by students when interacting with the Promethean board. The binder, sheet protectors, and sheet protector pockets will be used to organize student materials.
