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 Project
I work with a group of intelligent, funny, and driven 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. These students are incredibly special as they are neurodivergent, and happen to have learning differences that they navigate this world with. My students each have an Individualized Education Plan that provides support and accommodations for them to reach their goals inside and outside of the school environment. I also coach a group of powerful young women on our varsity soccer team. The girls have worked very hard throughout the season and have come a long way since the start of their young soccer careers. Many of them are playing on their first sports team ever! As a result, they have made it to the OAL Middle School Varsity Soccer Sweet Sixteen and will be competing for a chance at the championship!
My students live in East Oakland, California, and they face many obstacles including poverty, homelessness, limited English proficiency, drugs, and violence.
All of my students are often hungry because they do not have access to healthy snacks at home or at school. A majority do not like the cafeteria lunch and this will result in them going all day without eating. This lack of access to healthy foods makes it harder for students to stay focused and access content throughout the day. They often ask for snacks when they enter my room and these snacks will support fueling each group of students and student-athletes everyday.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
