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

My students are from Camden, NJ which is one of the poorest districts in the US. They are in a 9th -12th grade ELL/Bilingual classroom. The poverty, language and limited access to resources negatively impacts these kids' academic performance as well as effects behavioral outcomes in school and other social settings. As a result of this, I wholeheartedly believe that it is the schools and society's responsibility to provide its children with the best opportunities possible to flourish in their educational endeavors. Ben Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." As an educator, I strive to make an investment in the education and lives of the children I teach because I know that my efforts will eventually pay dividends as these industrious students slowly evolve into the men and women they will someday become.

My Project

Table and chairs, considered basics by most, are what my students need in their bilingual math class to complete group assignments. Students will learn to work as a team, collaborate, lead and follow, and pull together to lift up their entire team's performance. These simple furnishings will facilitate group learning, encourage teamwork, and show these students, in a tangible way, that their success is valued and important. The impoverished conditions in the city make life and learning difficult enough for these kids. I would love for them to have the furnishings that would make it easier for them to share thoughts, have discussions about their assignments, and truly work as a collaborative team in a comfortable and encouraging setting.
