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 teacher at an inner-city school region with a large, diverse population of students from low-income families. The students at our school are eager learners looking to find a safe and secure place to learn. Many of our students are from immigrant families from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and other countries that are faced with many challenges. Our school provides a home for a diverse and cultural community. Many of our students participate in the Head Start Program.

Our school is a Title I school in which our students come from diverse backgrounds such as very low-income families, at many times below the poverty line.

Ninety percent of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Our school is located in the heart of one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods where many parents do not even speak English. Within my classroom, I also have several students that are English Language Learners as well as special needs students with a variety of challenges such as ADHD and learning disabilities. These conditions can make it difficult for students to learn and they can benefit from any aid or assistance that they can get.

My Project

Our students do not have the opportunity in their home life to explore and learn more about the world around us. These students are eager to discover and engage in hands on learning that will help them understand everything around them. It is important that students have the proper tools and supplies to give them the best opportunities to be successful.

My students need stools, a rug and rolling cart to create a STEM area where they can explore and engage in hands on activities.

These will help keep students focused and enhance their experiences in the classroom. By having students excited about learning they will be active participants and create a positive environment conducive to achievement.
