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 mostly comprised of English language learners who have recently arrived in the United States, often fleeing violence in their home countries. They come from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, and Yemen. More than 80% of the students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the district is facing severe budget cuts.
My students are incredibly eager to learn but it has been a challenge meeting their eagerness due to a lack of resources for my classroom.
They are very aware that the chance to study in the United States is a great opportunity that they don't want to waste. Many have had difficult journeys and experienced traumas. Some live with aunts and uncles or have brothers and sisters as guardians because their parents are back in their home countries. Yet they maintain a positive attitude toward school, good relationships with their teachers, and a love for their new country.
My Project
Being a history teacher, I make it a goal to find a comfortable medium of both writing and creative thinking in my class. Often, my assignments aim at letting my students demonstrate their ideas visually, which truly makes a difference for English Language Learners. Therefore, a bulk of the materials I am asking for will be used for assignments that get my kids creating, such as markers, construction paper, scissors, and glue. My students need basic materials for writing, having extra pencils, erasers, and highlighters (used to identify different parts of their writing, Pink is for Topic Sentences, Green is for Evidence, and Yellow for Detailed Analysis) are essential for my students to be able to further advance their writing and literacy skills. Lastly, through this project, I hope to be able to add some comforting factors into my classroom. Although I am grateful for the large size of my class, the age of my building comes with a price. Having soft lights and calming scents will help warm my classroom and build a comforting feeling to welcome my students.
10th grade is a critical year for keeping my students enrolled in school, having an opportunity to give them a History class that welcomes them and feeds their thirst for knowledge can make all the difference.
I am very fortunate of the supplies that my colleges have given me, but unfortunately, many of the supplies that my class needs are running low. I hope to be able to continue to give my students the supplies they deserve.
School is still a new adventure for many of my students, and it is my aspiration to help them find joy and excitement in education.
