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 believe children are the future. Teach them well and let them lead the way." These are not only words from a popular song but a strong belief that I hold as a teacher.
Equity for all!
My students are full of potential. They are bright shining beacons of light. I am asking for assistance so that they can glow like the stars that they are.
Fortunately, for the students in my class, envisioning the future is something we think of and talk about often. Because their daily existence is so challenging, I have them focus on their bright and delightful futures!
I teach in a low socio-economic area at a Title I school where 99% of the population receives free breakfast and lunch at school. On most days the heartiest and healthiest meals that the students receive are what they eat at school. It isn't unusual for the students in my class to stockpile food in their book bags to take home in order to have something to eat later that day.
Despite the harsh circumstances and backdrops of their lives, the students come to school daily with smiles on their faces.
My Project
My school district has adapted a Hybrid model for back to school in September. This means that students will be rotated (10 - 15) at a time in my classroom a few days a week while also continuing remote learning a few days a week from home.
These portable stools will help my students practice social distancing by keeping 6 feet apart as they work.
In general, 6 feet of separation is the distance that should be kept between people interacting within their community. This recommendation is most important in any setting where there is close contact of people whose symptom status may be hard to monitor.
These stools are light weight and portable, so that my students can easily pick them up and move to another part of the room, to keep a safe distance between them and their peers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
