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
Located in Connecticut, the school enrolls students from various backgrounds. Within my classroom students are representing various ethnic groups, celebrate various traditions, some are English Learners, some are facing the challenges of learning disabilities, and many are from underprivileged neighborhoods. Despite our differences, we are all eager to learn from our environment and each other.
Being a part of an inner city school, we are living the life of systematic challenges; budget and funding.
Within an inconsistent budget, teachers are forced to supply many of the materials that are used throughout our daily explorations. Furthermore, resources for institutions such as mine are lacking in depth needed for the full potential of educational experiences.
The students within my classroom are eager to learn and learn best through hands-on experiences, consisting of opportunities made available throughout their environment. As a STEM school, it is my obligation to provide opportunities to support our curriculum, with limited meaningful manipulatives. However, we develop as a class, in order to learn from what we have, and what is most important, each other (teachers, students, parents).
My Project
Time Magazines allows students the opportunity to engage in current events that are appropriate for their age and development.
Pre-k students are learning about current events for the first time through guided experiences that teachers make available; Time Magazines can help with building these necessary experiences that create understanding about the world around them.
The magazine bundle subscription will ensure a monthly guided approach to current events and relevant materials that support our curriculum. Using nonfiction as a guide for students can help build a bridge from their typical play and make sense through using information gained through whole and small group discussions.
Nearly all 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
