Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

All children can learn if strongly supported and enthusiastically encouraged. I believe when a learning environment with high expectations of achievement is introduced, perpetuated by the classroom teacher and supported by the school and community, students cultivate an "I CAN do it" attitude and perform to and beyond expectations despite challenges they may face. As a teacher in a middle school poverty NYC public school, I am challenged to develop and foster a high expectation/high achievement learning environment with children who may have been conditioned to believe that they aren't capable of high achievement because of special needs or conditions of poverty. With resources, encouragement, and affirmation, I strive to build the efficacy my students need to succeed. Encouragement and affirmation are abundant in my classroom, but resources are not! Your support in helping change that is very much appreciated!

My students come in every day traveling far to get here.

They come by bus or ferry to Staten Island!. Some even live in a shelter and manage to come to school every day. With everything going on it hard to help all my students when I only see them two days a week .

My Project

I teach in a Title I school on Staten Island. Many of my students haven't been in school since the pandemic started. They will need some pencils to help use start using math again. Also we will have to be doing some review since many of these students haven't been in a class room for over a year and half of learning.

Students shouldn't have to bring in things that are hard enough for them to get school supplies.

I also asked for some notebooks for the students that can't afford them. This year I want students to keep have pencils when they need them and not have to return them especially because of Covid. The digital resources I asked for is for students that need remedial help to get them going.

This year is going to be challenging for all students and any way I can make their life easier will be grateful.
