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

Many of my students' parents have to worry about getting food on the table before they can even think about buying supplies to enrich the learning of their children. Basic supplies, if any at all, are all they can afford. But many students need more than that to really understand the content.

My students live in a California, low income, inner-city.

Many have to grow up in a tough neighborhood and have to deal with "adult issues" much sooner than they should have to. Many of the students live in project housing and have to walk to school. Our charter school is a small school where there is one teacher per subject area. Due to the area that we are in and the work schedules of our parents, there are some students who stay at the school for almost twelve hours a day.

My Project

With index cards, students can make flash cards to quiz themselves on key vocabulary and ideas. I often notice, especially with my English Language Learners, despite graphic organizers and notes and projects, sometimes it comes down to simple drilling with flash cards for students to finally grasp a concept. With whiteboards and markers I can do quick checks to see if students are understanding essential key points by asking them to write the answer and raise it in the air. Whiteboards can be used in games or other interactive activities as well. Sometimes it simply takes some organization to help students learn. Being able to punch holes in a paper and put it in a binder or use post-its to flag important information to study will help students to focus on the content, not the mess in their backpacks. Flagging notes would be especially helpful for my students with special needs.

Sometimes it is the littlest things that can forever change the educational experience of a student.

Having just a few additional resources can be worth its cost a hundred times over when we consider the multiple ways it will enrich the learning of the students.
