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.
Our students are inner-city, at-risk students living in between East Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles, a city filled with dreams and filled with life's harsh reality. Their school and town are contradictions of the truth. Every day kids see an area being used for some filming with happy actors in a perfect world. The reality for my students is a single-family household, parents that work nights, teen pregnancy, and other issues of inner-city youth. Our students are surrounded by the glamour of the city and social media, but it is still worlds away from their reality.
Our students are humble and grateful kids who do not expect much but are thankful and surprised when they receive anything.
My dream is to make my classroom feel like a second home, so they can forget about everything else and focus on what is going on in class. I want them to love education as I do, so that it can do what it did for me because I, too, came from a similar environment. It is my job to engage them with hands-on activities and instill resilience in them.
My Project
The materials we are requesting are simple tools, pencils, a glue gun, markers, pens, tape, lab poster decorations, etc. These tools may not seem significant, but last year was the first time our class had most of the tools we needed to make great Lab experiment posters. It was nice not having to hunt down equipment and we are not going back to what it was like before. Every year we try to add to what we have, and every year we end up doing more labs and activities.
Being able to have tools that work is so big.
Not having to share tools from class to class, with devices getting lost it's critical for our students getting their work done during school hours. Having an engaging classroom is a big deal when you work with minorities and students with poverty. They are always faced with choosing between their education and helping out the family.
