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 an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. We have over 51 different languages other than English as a primary language spoken at home. Our students work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for a career, and a few for the military.

We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs.

The school is so incredibly diverse by religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and family structure with many immigrant families finding our town to be a wonderful, inviting home. In addition, we support the local homeless shelters, the homeless bus in a surrounding town, and our temporarily homeless students and families.

The high school has many varsity sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey, track and field, gymnastics, swimming, cross country, tennis, softball, wrestling, golf, Special Olympics, dance, and bowling.

This project is specifically for our STEM Squad who goes to our elementary schools and hosts STEM nights where they bring lots of cool STEM activities to do with the younger students.

My Project

I have an amazing group of students with various learning needs. I have a co-teacher and teach inclusion sections of Chemistry. My students need some additional supplies in order to be successful.

First, we need some Frixion Erasable pens for note-taking.

This allows students who make mistakes to fix them, but also write in different colors so they can keep their notes organized. We always need graph paper, and this graph paper is already 3-hole punched so our students can put it directly into their 3-ring binders. This is so important because our students tend to lose their notes and work. With the graph paper already 3-hole punched, they can just slip it into the correct section easily.

Finally, we need some Expo markers for our students to use on the portable whiteboards. Having these boards allows students to answer questions and work out problems with a group. This allows them to write their answers large enough for everyone in the room to see and then reuse the board for the next questions.

Thank you so much for considering our project for basic supplies that will help our students stay organized and on task.
