Celebrating 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 live in Brooklyn. We are a small school, with approximately four hundred and fifty students. Our class has twenty-five students. Seventy-one percent of our students are entitled to free lunch due to living below the poverty line. I teach in a special education class with approximately forty percent of the class having special needs.
This class has a wonderful mix of personalities.
There are several students with severe behavioral challenges and other students who are so shy that making eye contact can be difficult. As a whole, we have a fantastic time in class. The students and teachers laugh a lot in class. We try to make learning fun. I am most proud of how the students interact with one another. At the beginning of the year, there were many verbal scuffles and mistreating one another.
Now, I am proud to say that we coexist more as a family. The students are helpful with one another and everyone is treated with the respect and courtesy that they deserve. This environment is conducive for a wonderful learning atmosphere. Our students are learning, but our lack of materials hinders our progress.
My Project
Unfortunately, some students come to school without the supplies they need to for a successful school year. We need these materials for the students to to bring a little color to their school projects.
We have ordered these colored pencils and markers to provide the necessary materials our students need in order to complete their projects, and make them even more beautiful than they would be in just pencil.
Please donate these materials to us, so that we can provide our students an artistic outlet and allow them to show their artistic side and "let their true colors show".
Our students are very much in need of these materials. Please help us give our students these necessary resources.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
