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

I teach in a large urban public school in New York. The majority of our students are immigrants from very diverse backgrounds, including the Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, West African and Latin America. More than half of our student population is learning English as a new language.

While culturally our students are diverse, economically 94% of our students come from low-income households and qualify to receive reduced price or free breakfast and lunch.

Recently the city’s initiative, “Breakfast in the Classroom” has been a very successful program in our school, which ensured that our students received the nutrients and energy needed to begin their academic day.

Despite the day-to-day obstacles, our students work very hard to get into well-reputed high schools within the City. In the recent years, a few of our alumni got acceptance to the city’s prestigious specialized high schools. Our students need your support to fund resources to further their education.

My Project

My students are over the moon with our new flexible seating arrangement classroom. Students have an option to choose from a variety of seats such as counter height tables, conference tables, and floor seats with a coffee table.

Students pick their own seats on a daily basis and change their seats accordingly depending on their mood and preference.

In a multicultural society, it is crucial for educators to take into consideration the diversity in the classroom and create a space that is viable and accessible to all students. When "one size" does not fit all in terms of curriculum, we should not expect for one type of seating to work for all either. Our students need your support to be exposed to multiple seating options.
