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

Do you know what it is like to grow up in poverty and lack educational materials? This is the life of most of my students. They have a huge hunger to learn, but lack the resources at home and school to really tap into this desire to learn. A wide variety of educational tools can help them succeed.

My students are among some of the most fascinating I have ever worked with.

They are 100% ESL (they comprise 65% of the school) and have a huge range of personalities, from fun to serious and everything in between. They have voracious appetites for learning and are always ready for something new!

My Project

100% of my students are English Language Learners and have a wide ranges of educational strengths and areas in need of improvement. Many struggle to adapt to a new culture while also learning English and keeping pace with rigorous instruction. To add to this, we are approximately two weeks behind in our curriculum due to interrupted schooling because of Hurricane Sandy. I am requesting a wide range of materials which will include everything from basic classroom materials to interactive tools that the children can use in both whole and small groups to enhance their educational experience.

Teachers know that education is not about a cookie-cutter approach but, to be successful, really needs to be about a multi-tiered, engaging and interactive learning experience.

Being able to do this successfully truly depends on teachers having access to a wide variety of materials. The tools included in this project will all contribute to helping me create a comprehensive and varied set of classroom materials.
