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
My students are children with disabilities in grades K-2 who have various diagnoses such as ADHD, Learning Disorders, Emotional Disorders, Speech and Language deficits. 56% of our enrolled students are Hispanic and 41% are of African-American descent. 22% of our students have Individualized Education Plans. 15% of our student body is classified as English Language Learners. 22% of students reside in temporary housing.
My students beyond their diagnosis are awesome kids.
These are children who live in the South Bronx and in an impoverished area who needs a break. These children are thirsty for knowledge, communication, and an outlet to release the negative and turn it into positive.
My Project
This school year we will be working to support students' social and emotional growth now that we are all fully back in the building after being split between remote and blended learning. Our school will not only aim to address academic gaps but offer clubs and extracurricular activities that students missed out on last year. In the past we were able to do so in large groups in classrooms, however, because of COVID and having to control our group's sizes, we have to hold groups in unconventional places- cafeteria, gardens, outside- where we don't have access to outlets, desks, or technology. This IPad, pen, and keyboard will help me bring our activities wherever we go!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
