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

I am a special education ELA teacher at a high school located in the Bronx. This year, I’ve realized just how hard the COVID-19 pandemic has hit my students for the past two years and impacted their learning. They have been struggling on their path to success due to adjusting back to quizzes, tests, Regents exams, and other assessments they encounter. The school supplies and decorations I've requested will ensure my students have a positive work environment that motivates them to learn and stay engaged.

Good readers are often good listeners and good listeners are often good readers.

For many individuals, listening and reading go hand in hand. In my classes, students read at different levels. Headphones will help facilitate various accommodations by allowing students to listen to various texts that can be brought to life as they read. Additionally, my students will find themselves in a classroom suitable for any type of learner, where there are different types of seating whether regular chairs or cushions. This will further allow students to feel at comfort while facilitating their learning. Fidgets will also be available for all students, assisting them in active listening and focusing on given tasks. Other essential materials such as folders, looseleaf paper, pens, and pencils will allow students to be able to have all the materials accessible to them to feel successful in their day-to-day lessons. We will decorate the classroom together with various decorations, signs, and posters to make it feel like our sanctuary.

My desire is for my students to become stronger writers and more independent readers, while feeling safe, loved, and valued in our classroom space. Please help me accomplish this goal for the 2022-2023 school year by donating to my project!

Sincerely,

Ms. Leah Jimenez

Ms. Jimenez DeWitt Clinton High School Grades 9-12
