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 Project

As a teacher, you might wonder how poverty, or intense and debilitating monetary struggles, has anything to do with you. Yet no matter where you teach, you are likely to encounter students who are living in poverty. Some of these students will come from families facing temporary setbacks, like a parent who has lost a job. Others will be more entrenched in poverty and may have less hope for coming out of it. Some children living in poverty might be suffering from food insecurity, or uncertainty about whether they will get enough to eat. Others might be temporarily or permanently homeless. Children living in poverty might not have weather-appropriate clothing and might struggle to mobilize the resources they need in order to succeed in school.

Ms. Quinones PS 288 Shirley Tanyhill Grades PreK-2
