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

I am a 6th Grade 12:1 Special Education teacher in a specialized public middle school in the South Bronx for Students with Disabilities, where 91% of student receive free or reduced priced lunch. My class consists of 12 students who are heartwarming and have a love of learning! My students have learning disabilities that range from Autism to Emotional Disturbance. My students benefits from having scaffolds and supports for their learning.

Curious, enthusiastic, and creative: my students are eager to immerse themselves in any kind of challenge.

During COVID-19, my students and their families have heavily impacted personally and economically. Many parents are unable to provide the resources that their child needs for the upcoming school year. I want to ensure that my students will receive the essential school supplies in order to continue their love for learning.

My Project

As a first year teacher this upcoming September, I want to be able to support the needs of my students with learning materials in any way I can. The items will allow my students to have materials both at home and in the classroom. These hands-on materials and supplies will help further their thinking. My students will benefit from having materials such as highlighters, color post-its, and markers to support their organizational needs.

Students with disabilities need multiple supports to help them engage in their learning both at home and in the classroom.

COVID-19 has left a huge economical impact on my students and school community. I have included cleaning supplies such as disinfecting wipes, disinfecting sprays, and hand sanitizers to ensure my students will have a clean and safe classroom environment. I want my students to feel at ease in the classroom knowing cleaning supplies are available for them to use. Also, my students are going to need many supplies for in-person learning or remote learning in order to engage in their learning experiences. Anchor charts will be used as visuals in order for students to use as a guide in their learning in the classroom or if we continue to learn remotely. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will fundamentally help to increase their academic achievement and success.
