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
We are a Title I school in Southern California. Most of my students come from low-income families and many do not stay at the same school for more than a year. These students are shuffled from one school to the next due to overflow and busing restrictions. This contributes to an unbalanced education. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about those circumstances.
However, I can give these young learners a thirst for knowledge and the ability to use logic and communication to find information for themselves.
These students are mostly English language learners who crave and require countless opportunities each day to hear and use English with their peers. My students are impressionable and eager. I try to take advantage of that every day!
My Project
My students have a listening center, but the cords become tangled and some of our books have been damaged since there is no good place to keep them during use. This center will allow students to keep their headphones tangle free and the books off the floor.
In addition, my students are only 4 and have difficulty rewinding the tapes I have recorded.
CDs are much easier for them to navigate, making it an independent station.
Most of the books we use now are more than 20 years old and falling apart. They are often unfamiliar stories and it would be amazing for them to be able to make connections using familiar stories.
More than three‑quarters of 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
