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
Our students and families are ready to learn and ready to succeed, supported by strong community involvement and pride in their families, heritage and school. Our school population is 95% Hispanic, with nearly 41% learning English as a Second Language (ESL). Families and teachers prepare students for the pathway to college and career, which is key for our students: the average income for residents within the school's zip code is significantly less than the state's average.
Despite, and often because of, such challenges, our students eagerly participate in both bilingual and monolingual curricula, along with many other opportunities for student growth including technology and engineering projects, ballroom dance, and after school wrap-around programs.
Our attendance is excellent because our students come here to learn and succeed.
My Project
Our class has been busy this year. As we constantly work and create, we use up the supplies that we had stockpiled. Many parents sent their children to school in September with bags filled with paper, markers, hand sanitizer, and most important: tissues. But, at this time of year we have little to none of these supplies.
We have many more lessons to learn and work to create before the end of the year, and we ran out of copy/drawing paper over a month ago.
We've also used many sheets of facial tissue. It's been a tough cold season and allergy season lies ahead so we need boxes and boxes of tissues. Lastly, we take pride in our charts, diagrams and art work. We need black Sharpies to make our work presentable, so we can display our work for others to enjoy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
