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
Being at our school for several years, I have gotten the chance to really get to know many of the students in the school, including those I have never taught. Many of them have gone through seriously adverse situations and misfortunes that impact their everyday life, especially their education. I am amazed at how resilient they can be, and how they push through to the best of their abilities regardless of hardships that affect them. Being a fifth-grade teacher has shown me how fast some students have to mature. I have taught their younger siblings in previous years (coming up from kindergarten and first grade) and see how they take care of their family. Each child that I have gotten to know at this school has my heart.
I want nothing but the best for all of these students, and that includes giving them hands-on experiences that will be memorable to them.
My students need to be able to feel like school isn't another one of their draining duties or work. I want all of them to enjoy school and look forward to each day in my class, whether in person or virtually. They truly deserve the best!
My Project
Virtual learning hasn't been the easiest, but we are making it through. Although the students received academic supply kits at the beginning of the year put together by my amazing district, there were some essential items that were missing from their kits or that some of them didn't receive. I want to provide them with sticky notes that will come in handy for our literacy lessons, screen protectors that are necessary for math, and pencils because a student can never have enough of those!
Digital resources are just as important as stationery supplies, and Pear Deck is one of my favorites that my students love to use.
The free trial made me realize how useful and easy it was to use and I would love to have a premium account in order to take advantage of the awesome features they offer.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
