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 am an ESE (Special Education)/Reading teacher at a middle school in Miami. I teach and support students who have Emotional/Behavior Disorders and learning difficulties. My school is a Title I school, which means that about 99% of the students at my school receive free or reduced-price lunch due to their low socioeconomic status. The school is in a high-poverty neighborhood, so many of my students come from families that struggle financially. As a result, my students endure more problems than average children, which interfere with and hinder their learning.

My Project

Students are so fascinated by technology that they forget to take time out to enjoy the fresh air. Kickball, basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, jump ropes and a sound system will encourage students to get out and enjoy outdoor activities.

My students are awarded time to relax and what other way to get them out to encourage health and wellness is by having activities to keep them fit physically and mentally.

We are also going on some field trip experiences that will require students to bring notepads, pens, and snacks. With this project students will have snacks to take on field trips, snacks to enjoy while outdoors, and snacks to enjoy while discussing mental health and awareness activities. Thanks to donors like you my students health and wellness will advanced by providing us with activities and snacks
