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.
I work at a wonderful, family oriented school Title I Program Improvement school with awesome students! The majority of our families are considered to be low to low-middle income with many living below the poverty line. More than one-third of our students speak English as a second language.
Our school offers extra assistance and enrichment when needed.
We have a part-time intervention teacher who spends 100% of her day on student academic intervention. Our school is lucky enough to have three Autism specific classes with students who mainstream into general education classes throughout the day. We have a resource class for special education students and for those who need extra help, a garden teacher (paid for by a generous grant) that works with the students on the Next Generation Science Standards, volunteers who come read with and/or tutor our students several times a week, and many teachers who run intervention and enrichment classes after school.
My Project
I work at a Title 1 school and we have been asked to "tighten our belts" financially. This means less money for basic classroom supplies. Some of our students come to school on the first day loaded down with school supplies. Others cannot afford to do so.
I want to be able to provide my students with all of the supplies they need to start the school year.
I would love to give all of my students a pencil box full of pens, markers, colored pencils, rulers, highlighters, pencils, and erasers.
I think back to when I was a little girl. I would have been over the moon to have been given these supplies. I would love for my students to have that feeling and not have to ask my families, who might already be struggling financially, to provide basic school supplies to their students.
