Help me give my students the basic essentials, such as paper, notebooks, folders, and some snacks to keep them motivated in class. After returning from virtual learning, my students are excited to be back in class!
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 7th and 8th-grade students are beyond amazing! They excel and exceed my very rigorous expectations. I am extremely proud of them and would like for them to celebrate the richness and diversity of Spanish culture. My students all qualify for free and/or reduced meals.
My students attend a Title I school with a variety of cultural backgrounds, financial means, and many are first-year language learners with minimal support at home.
They show me something new every day. I love seeing them immerse themselves in everything from art to music, and history to even math in Spanish class!
This is one of only two electives that is given for high school credit and I have a responsibility to show them what the language is all about without having to limit their creativity because financially we cannot meet their needs. We would be able to flourish even more if given the opportunity and not be limited to the classroom.
My Project
The most basic of supplies can be used both at home and at school to facilitate learning. My students are extremely excited to be back on campus after the pandemic and we are seeing the consequences of the COVID sickness and how it has impacted each student differently. We don't have many things in our classroom and we are down to the bare minimum. We don't even have a pencil sharpener and that is a problem.
Due to the concerns for the spread of the COVID virus, each student needs to have their own supplies and that starts with pencils and paper, a journal, and having their own marker to write on the board.
We are doing our part to maintain safety protocols and keep our students healthy. Each item is crucial in helping my students be successful in class.
I would also love to get them something to eat and drink so that they can be motivated. Everyone knows that a hungry child does not learn well and so even if it is something small, they can surely benefit.
My goal in Spanish is that my students are fluent in reading, writing, and speaking. These items will definitely help with that. Thank you so much in advance.
