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
I am a second grade teacher in a low-income, high-poverty school district. I have a class of wonderful second graders who are English language learners, special education students, and general education students who come from various ethnic backgrounds.
Despite the many challenges my students face, my students come to school eager to learn and strive to do better.
The recent pandemic has really put a major obstacle in front of our students. School closures have separated our students from us teachers, counselors and other staff members who support them during important developmental transitions and difficult times.
Despite these circumstances, my students are doing their best to learn from home but lack basic school supplies and food that they would have received during a normal school day.
The closures of schools across the country, will likely precipitate a “widening gap” between low- and high-income students. School closures prompted by the Coronavirus pandemic have sent families scrambling for solutions—balancing their work schedules with childcare and their children's needs for social stimulation and learning. As a result, many of my students are in need at this time. Please help me give my students everything they need.
My Project
For this project I am asking for fadeless paper and borders to place on our classroom walls so that students may have a welcoming and warm learning environment.
We often find ourselves trying to encourage our students to feel comfortable in our classrooms by making sure that our classrooms are warm and welcoming.
The materials I am asking for will help them stay motivated by surrounding them with positivity and a great looking classroom!
The materials I am asking for would all be great sources that would help my room give an educational, yet beautiful look. It will make students want their work on our walls. Also, it will make them proud of our classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
