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
My students are amazing young teenagers! Most of these students reside in a poor, urban area that is grossly underfunded and, in some areas, lacking even the most basic of needs. Although many of them come from tough neighborhoods and lifestyles, they are resilient, smart, and full of life.
They are self-directed learners who yearn to know more about their past so they can change their future.
They are inquisitive, creative and thrive on learning new things. They have changed my world perhaps more than I have changed theirs. They will be the historians of the future; making their mark on society and changing the world for the better.
My Project
My students attend a school district that is under funded. They lack the essential classroom supplies that every student, regardless of social-economic factors need to be successful.
By donating to my classroom project, you will not only help to improve and increase student engagement but also increase my students' love for history beyond their own country.
The composition books will be used to complete a daily journaling exercise to document their learning of other world countries.
The timer will be used to manage the writing process from the beginning to the end of their journaling activity.
And finally, the easel will be used to model appropriate journaling techniques and strategies.
More than half of 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
