it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I have 19 amazing scholars located in an economically disadvantaged area in Duncanville, Texas. We are a school of just under 340 students who are working hard during this pandemic to ensure our babies continue to learn. Our students come from many backgrounds and cultures. Some are soaring with distance learning and we a small number that come to class every day with mask and shield ready to learn. We are a school community that believes in family and believes that together we can provide quality education and life skills that our students will need beyond the walls of our school.
My Project
This year our students are struggling. Many of my students lost a lot of valuable instructional time during the pandemic. Academically, they are performing at kindergarten and first-grade level. The resources we have right now at school are very limited. It's hard to teach phonics when we don't have a strong phonics program or stations that students can do independently. Here is where TPT comes in with great resources. There are some really good digital resources that my students can use at home and in-person that will help them close some of these educational gaps we are dealing with right now.
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
