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

I have the most energetic third graders this year.

My class is composed of ten students with disabilities.

My students have made great strides in the school year. My students are of African-American and Hispanic descent with 99% of them receiving free or reduced-price school meals. I tell my students, "You can make a difference."

My students are very hard workers, and regardless of their surroundings in their neighborhood, my students come to a class dedicated to working. They know that once they step in the classroom they are ready to work and learn new content. I love it when I see my students learn and apply what they have learned in the class and use it in their real life. My students are bright and enthusiastic students ready to learn. My class is located in a low-income area. A large percentage of the student population qualifies for free lunch. My students are not provided with opportunities to experience new things. My students are bright and very dedicated students. My students need real-life experiences in order to make real-life connections.

My Project

Wow! I am truly grateful for your amazing support in my part 1 dream project requesting 6 tables. I am very glad that with amazing donors I have been blessed with 6 new desks. This is the 3rd part of my project. My current goal is to create an environment that supports my students' equity and health needs. With our current situation of having this pandemic, my students are currently in desperate need of 15 chairs for our new desk in order for them to use as flexible seating. Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean, or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. Flexible seating is a transition from the typical sitting at a desk, to sitting in comfortable and movable furniture. The purpose of flexible seating is so that students can work in a space that works for their learning style. Thank you for your support and dedication to my students and their needs.
