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.
I work with English Language Learners in a low socioeconomic community. Most students I work with live in a shared household where multiple families live together to reduce the cost of living. Many of my students are children of immigrant parents who have limited educations.
The students I work with are eager learners and meet new challenges with enthusiasm.
They always put forth their maximum effort and try to complete a given task to the best of their abilities.
I have a special bond with my students and this community because our school was once my school when I was an elementary school student. I loved this school as a student and love it even more now as a teacher. I have very fond memories of my childhood here and want to provide those same kinds of memories for my students.
I work in a wonderful community and am very proud and honored to say that I am a product of the community in which I teach. My students love when I share stories of the time when I was a student at our school.
My Project
Our school has been closed to students for eight months now. Many of the reading material that my students have had access to is via online. The books I am requesting are for my students to have that can use to read from instead of just reading books online. There is nothing better than having students hold a book and change the pages with their own hands. The books requested are books that will introduce students to various places around the world and different walks of life and be introduced to some very interesting characters.
