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 Project

I teach an incredible group of 2nd-grade students in a low-income Title 1 school. Despite their challenges, they come to school each day with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a desire to learn. They are bright, resilient, and full of potential, but many rarely have the opportunity to explore the world beyond their neighborhood.

The goal of this project is to provide my students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences through field trips.

These experiences will give them the chance to connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world, fostering a deeper understanding of the subjects we study. Whether visiting a museum, science center, or local park, these trips will allow my students to explore new environments, spark their creativity, and inspire their love for learning.

The resources I am requesting, such as funding for transportation, admission fees, and educational materials, will make these field trips possible. Each trip will be carefully planned to align with our curriculum, reinforcing key concepts in science, history, and the arts. For example, a visit to a science center will bring life to our lessons on ecosystems, while a trip to a historic site will deepen their understanding of the past.

What makes my students special is their unyielding curiosity and excitement for learning, even in the face of limited opportunities. They deserve to experience the world beyond the classroom, and these field trips will not only enrich their education but also create lasting memories that will inspire them for years to come. With your support, we can open their eyes to new possibilities and show them that their dreams can reach far beyond their present horizons.
