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

We are a 2nd-grade special education classroom and we are full of love and charismatic personalities! My students laugh, play, care, and give to one another with every moment that they can. However, my students face many adverse circumstances, they live in shelters, city housing developments, and foster care. Most of my students come to school hungry and without proper sized clothing or school supplies. Most of our scholars read, write, and compute at a kindergarten level.

Our 2nd-grade students are living in a very traumatic time and above all are encountering many hardships here in New York City.

My students find school as a safe place to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

This coming school year, our scholars will continue distance learning in some form and I can already foresee their resilience. My future scholars are currently in 1st grade and will be entering 2nd grade in September and they have shown bravery with their first-grade teachers. Currently, the scholars were only given an iPad or a laptop to work from home with. They receive 4 daily check-ins just to promote socio-emotional support to the scholars and their families during this time.

My Project

This upcoming school year will be extremely different than years past and normally, students shared supplies. This year, to keep up with the demands of social distancing, our students will need individual school supplies. Students are not permitted to share supplies and since 97% of our students come from poverty, they can not afford the basic school supplies needed to complete tasks.

Since our school is doing the hybrid model, our students can take these supplies to and from home.

This individual supply kit will include zipper pouch to protect their library books, and pencil boxes (1 for their school supplies, and another for their math manipulatives (counters, dice, base-ten blocks, etc.)).

Individual supplies will cut down on the contact between students because each student will have their own set of supplies that only they will use.
