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

Our students and families are ready to learn and ready to succeed, supported by strong community involvement and pride in their families, heritage, and school. Our school population is 95% Hispanic, with nearly 41% learning English as a Second Language (ESL). Families and teachers prepare students for the pathway to college and career, which is key for our students: the average income for residents within the school's zip code is significantly less than the state's average.

Despite, and often because of, such challenges, our students eagerly participate in both bilingual and monolingual curricula, along with many other opportunities for student growth, including technology and engineering projects, ballroom dance, and after school wrap-around program.

Our attendance is excellent because our students come here to learn and succeed.

My Project

Why does room 33 need 2 fans? Well, there are many things a teacher can control in the classroom: engaging work, careful lesson planning, consistent management, developing good rapport with and among students, to name a few. However, I cannot control the sun! We are lucky to have an expansive view of the Eastern sky from our third story classroom, but it gets HOT up here. The Windows open a little bit, but not enough to offset the baking sun. The dusty old window shades can block it a bit, but then the room is dark and suffocating. Please help me keep these middle schoolers comfortable, so that they can stay alert and concentrate on their academics.
