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
I am an ESE (Special Education)/Reading teacher at a Middle School in Miami. I teach and support students that have Emotional/Behavior Disorders and learning difficulties. My school is a Title I school which means that about 99% of the students at my school receive free or reduced-price lunch due to their low socioeconomic status. The school is in a high poverty neighborhood so many of my students come from families who struggle financially. As a result, my students endure more problems than average children, and these problems interfere with and hinder their learning.
My Project
Students love to play games and eat snacks. The items that I would like to purchase for my students will help students learn to play together in healthy ways. I would like to order games such as connect 4, legos, scrabble and monopoly, uno and RC cars that they can race so they can learn how to work together in a group while playing. The items will be kept securely in the containers to make sure that we can have them for years to come.
Students in my class are not aware that learning can be fun and also part of social developing.
We have great teachers that are willing to go the extra mile and show the students how to get along with others and play team games successfully. My students are a group of students that have time in their curriculum to engage in social activities and the items that we will provide the students will put many smiles on their faces.
More than half of students from low‑income households
