Celebrating 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
As an itinerant teacher in the Home Hospital Instructional Program, I teach some of the most vulnerable students in my community. I provide instruction to students in all grades, Pre-K through 13+, in all subject areas, from a variety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and whose lives may also be impacted by cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities. In real terms what this means is that on any given day I can teach any subject from learning the names of letters and numbers, through Biology, and life skills.
Students who are assigned to my caseload have been diagnosed with either a catastrophic, chronic, or psychiatric illness which prevents the student from attending a regular school setting.
I provide instruction either in the student's home or the hospital, which requires that my "classroom" be mobile, as I travel across the county daily.
My students may suffer from illnesses such as sickle-cell anemia and asthma, potentially catastrophic conditions like organ transplants and cancer, or psychiatric diagnoses such as schizophrenia and depressive disorders.
In addition to the medical conditions which are central to the lives of my students, many of my students also have been identified with more commonly known disabilities.
My Project
The materials requested in this project will help my students and me work interactively in both in-person and virtual platforms. We can use the blank index cards to create sight word, math, and vocabulary flashcards. We will be able to use the magnetic dry erase boards and Expo markers to engage in all types of activities such as practicing math skills, spelling, sentence writing, and story drawings. The paint supplies will offer my students the opportunity to express themselves creatively in subjects such as Science and Social Studies.
Students of all ages and grade levels love to work with tools outside of the traditional pencil and paper.
The colorful, hands-on materials requested in this project will provide my students the opportunity to engage in classroom activities whether we are working one-on-one in person or virtually.
More than half of students from low‑income households
