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.
How can we help close the achievement gap in low-income districts with students who have a wide range of abilities? My students struggle with having the necessary materials to succeed. How can I teach my 9th graders about the eloquent language of Shakespeare without the proper materials? This is why I need your help!
As a teacher in a low-income school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.
Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with both creative and meaningful learning experiences. I aim to teach them skills that they will need not only in their high school academic lives but in future college and careers settings as well.
My Project
Thankfully, I've gotten a lot of support from gracious donors through Donorschoose.org. However, I've recently learned that my district won't be able to provide arts & crafts supplies for hands-on projects, storage bins/containers for Writer's Workshop portfolios, fidgets and sensory toys for my special need students and other basic classroom organization essentials.
Many of these students will not get this experience if I do not provide them with the materials they need to be successful in the classroom.
Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide my students with both creative and meaningful learning experiences. I am looking for arts and crafts supplies such as markers, colored pencils, and craft paper because we work on expressing our understanding of literature both artistically and through writing. We create character maps, plot diagrams, theme concept boards and so much more to go along with their portfolios. We also need storage crates and bins as well as a label maker to help keep these wonderful gifts well-organized and well-taken care of for our Writer's Workshop Portfolios where we store, analyze and reflect on our work as readers and writers. Because I also teach students with special needs I'm looking for sensory toys and fidgets to help them better focus in a traditional classroom environment. These kinetic toys help students with attention disorders to feel more at ease with anxiety as well. Again, I serve in a district where most students come from families low-income backgrounds. Some of my students are also English Language Learners (ELLs) or receive special education services. Providing my students with these materials also allows me (and you donors!) the opportunity to enrich their academic experience.
