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

The students at our school are eager learners looking to find a safe and secure place to do so. However, hurricane disaster caused a disruption in their learning environment and their ability to feel safe. Many of our students are immigrant families from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras and other countries that are faced with many challenges.

Our school was heavily affected by the hurricanes that recently passed by.

Many rooms were left with water intrusion and damage that has made getting back to normal life difficult. Any funds or availability of items is now being used to make repairs to the damaged caused by Hurricane Irma. I work in a Title I school, where over 90% of our students are on free or reduced lunch. Our school is located in the heart of one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods where many parents do not even speak English. Our students are in need of once again feeling secure and safe in their learning environment. Our students need to know that there are people willing to help and make a difference in their lives.

My Project

As a result of the Hurricane, many of our classrooms are unable to be used regularly and our students are continually displaced from their room. Each time students are moved to different locations they need basic supplies in order to continue their learning environment as normal as possible. With a Surface Book they will be able to take their classroom learning wherever they go. The Surface book acts as a tablet and computer, which allows our students to feel as though they are in regular classroom setting with working student stations. This will allow them to have the most "normal" classroom environment possible considering the situation they are placed in. With the combination of these items my students will be able to create a classroom setting wherever they are within the school. This device will definitely help my students to continue their lessons with up to date technology and be able to improve their overall learning.

As a student in a low socioeconomic environment, you are constantly having to adapt to changing situations especially after the Hurricane.

If there is any way to help my students stabilize their lives and create a feeling of safety and security, I would truly love to do that for them. These materials will make this feeling of normalcy happening once again for these boys and girls.
