Paper to Help Us Learn

My students need paper because we do a lot of primary source analysis. I require my students to annotate and converse with the text, making history come alive, so I go through a lot of copies.

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

At FHS, we have students from a variety of home and prior schooling backgrounds. Some of my students come from very supportive homes, where their education is encouraged and parental participation is highly valued. Others come from broken homes, foster homes, even correctional facilities. However, in our shared learning space, they always strive for success; they demonstrate resilience; and they persevere.

If I had to describe the majority of the students' background, though, I would say they try their best, but they don't always have much to work with.

Sometimes, they come to school on little to no sleep, as they may have nowhere to sleep. They may come to school on an empty stomach, because there is nothing to eat at home. They may come to school to escape bad situations at home, and this is their safe haven. For this, and other, reasons I admire the students who give it their all, regardless of the circumstances they have been handed.

My Project

When we study history, it is important to bring the event(s) to life. For this reason, my students are required to annotate and converse with the text. This works best when students are able to highlight important parts of the text and write directly on the text.

As of late, funding for public schools has suffered drastic cuts, and we are allowed two boxes of paper per school year.

That translates to 16 reams, which equals 8000 sheets of paper. Because of the subject I teach, I make a lot of copies, and what the district provides does not begin to cover the copies that I need to better assist my students in learning historical skills.

I am requesting copy paper for my class. My students will benefit from the use of this copy paper because they will be able to practice analyzing high-level text and annotating in preparation for college-level classes.
