Help me give my students individual supply bags to ensure that they have what they need during distance learning.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I teach 2nd grade and my students are diverse from low economic homes. I currently teach a busy group of 20 second grade students. The majority of my children are far below grade level. These children come to school every day with very diverse needs. As their teacher and caregiver, it is my goal to ensure that my students are the most successful that they can be. In my room, we constantly look towards to future by considering ourselves the Penn State Class of 2034.

Because of this, many of my students do not have access to the resources that they need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I have received many e-mails, calls and texts stating the students do not have pencils, scissors, glue, colored pencils, books, etc. This pandemic is hard on everybody, but students in low income homes truly do not have the resources to keep up.

My Project

Distance learning is not an easy task for any student right now. It is extremely difficult on students from low income families. My students need school supplies and educational material at home to continue their ability to learn while not in the school building.

I want to put together learning and supply kits for my students to utilize during this difficult time.

I will use this project to create bags for my students to keep at home and use during the rest of our distance learning experience. The books will help me provide equal ELA lessons to all students. The math flashcards can ensure that students keep their fluency. Many of my students do not have access to basic school supplies. The multitude of other schools supplies (notebooks, pencils, colored pencils, sharpeners, scissors, glue, etc.) will be used for a variety of learning activities.
