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

It is an honor this academic year to have young scholars who are eager and determined to learn. The school is classified as a Title I school. Therefore, scholars and families lack basic essentials. Many of the scholars in my classroom have recently arrived from their native countries. The scholars' native countries consist of the following: Bangladesh, Lebanon, China, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Senegal.

The classes I facilitate instruction are categorized as English as a New Language and Special Education.

In addition, the scholars are deficient in foundation skills (e.g. addition, subtraction, etc.). Many of my scholars have not had the opportunity to attend elementary school in their native countries. The scholars’ academic deficits are in the following subjects: Language, Reading, Writing, and Math.

However, despite the scholars' academic deficits, they are enthusiastic and strive to learn. I am dedicated to supporting scholars and families by providing school supplies (e.g. notebooks, pencils, and book bags).

Finally, I support the scholars to develop self-confidence, independence and thrive to succeed academically and socially.

My Project

Scholars desperately need a Guided Reading Leveled Cart to store collections of leveled books. Many of the guided leveled books are on the floor because we do not have sufficient closets and bookshelves in the classroom.

Therefore, if scholars have the guided reading leveled cart they could have the opportunity to easily find and collect books they need for reading comprehension, speaking and writing skills.

Scholars also need the book bins to store the books on the cart.

Scholars desperately need these classroom materials since we lack closet and shelving space in the classroom because we are limited in space.
