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

Our high school is a Title I school located in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. Our students come from many different backgrounds, but all share the same goal of graduating high school prepared to change the world.

Our students care deeply about the communities they are a part of, and it is nothing short of a privilege for me to get to work beside them each and every day.

Their study of Participation in government and economics throughout the year is vitally important for these young men and women to make sense of the world around them and work towards being agents for change.

My Project

The purpose of this request is pretty straightforward: I would like to provide my seniors with 3-ring binders, folders, and looseleaf paper in an effort to start them off on the right foot in their senior year.

By providing them with these basic supplies we can move directly into our study of civics and government.

Much of my coursework takes a hands-on approach to the study of government and civic participation, and over the years I have tried different organization strategies for classwork and class notes. This year I would like to try a binder system where students can keep their notes and supplemental worksheets together to help them see the "big picture" of what we are studying in the classroom.
