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 come to school and without fail, hold a smile to their faces and a warm hello. They have a ton of P.R.I.D.E—our school motto, that is—Punctual, Respectful, Independent Thinkers, Dressed for Success, and Enthusiastic Learners. They get really excited to learn and always share a high five or hug. Everyday, we practice loving mistakes, because we always learn and grow from them.
They have worked hard throughout half of this year, and despite the challenges of this time, continue to persevere.
It definitely is a challenge, but they can do it and make the most of what they have. My students come from low-income households, receive free breakfast/lunch at school, and face many challenges, and yet, still hold a smile to their faces.
My Project
As our year comes to a close, students had left for what they had not known would be their last day of school in first grade. As they left, they asked, "when are we coming back?" Many of our school's low-income families and students continue to receive free meals through the district, however, they are also experiencing additional hardships that are impacting their daily life and ability to pay for necessities or supplies.
Many students often do not have school supplies necessary for their learning at home.
Whiteboards will support my kids in active engagement during our time together as well as a resource to use multiple times when organizing their thoughts into thinking maps or solve math problems. Their composition books, markers, and crayons will allow them to practice their writing at home and add some creativity to each page! The chalk will allow them to spend sometime outdoors, share their learning with others, and add some inspiration to another person's day as they walk by. The gallon bags will help me to bag each item as a care package that I will hand deliver to each student.
Please help me to create more of a learning environment for my students in their homes as I try my best to continue and teach them remotely for the rest of our year in first grade. Thank you!
