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 work at a year-round, special education school where we serve emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, and other special education classified students. Our students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds in New York City. Over ninety-five percent of our students are eligible for free lunch and more than ninety percent receive public assistance.

My students have exceptional abilities and with the proper accommodations and modifications, they truly thrive in our school setting.

These kids are afforded smaller classroom ratios, personalized attention, and a myriad of specially certified providers that assist in their overall development.

My Project

I would love to obtain a dozen fishing poles for my students. I am always encouraging my students to try new things, and this would be a unique experience for them. Having worked in special education for nearly two decades, I know how a new challenge can really excite my kids.

Fishing also teaches children to keep trying when they don’t succeed.

This leads to a greater work ethic which is needed to be successful in school and their future careers. As kids build their skills in fishing, they become more confident which leads to greater independence. They also expand their social skills as they work together to acquire a new skill. We would love to make this happen!
