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'm proud to say that I work at the school that I attended as a child. It is a high poverty, Title I school in New York. All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

My students are faced with many challenges inside and outside the classroom.

They struggle personally and academically and have diverse needs. My class consists of general education students and children who receive special education services. Students living in homeless shelters travel from other parts of the city to our school every day. Families that are new to the country (English new language learners) have the added burden of learning to communicate in English.

Despite the challenges they face daily, my students are filled with energy, are happy, and are motivated to learn. They are scientists, singers, mathematicians, leaders, comedians, readers, writers, teachers, dancers, me, and you; they are everything!

My goal is to make my students' school environment comfortable and their learning experiences, creative and challenging to prepare them for the future. I want my students to feel safe from the outside world, so they can focus on learning and simply being kids.

My Project

My students are sometimes faced with personal challenges beyond their control. A few years ago we decided to create a Care Closet(classroom) to hold essential personal care items that our students may need. We keep items such as soap, toothpaste, hair products, deodorant, socks, undergarments, school uniforms, and coats so children in need can be comfortable, better prepared to learn, and fit in with their peers.

Students are sometimes embarrassed that they are in need of these items.

Making the space more organized will make the children feel better.

We like for a visit to the closet/classroom to be pleasant; It should feel like a shopping experience. The racks and hangers included in this project will be used to hang some clothing items that are currently being kept in plastic bags on the floor. Having the racks will make it easier to find the sizes needed and will greatly improve the children's experience.
