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 currently working with 21 amazing students who are all from diverse backgrounds. As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics. Our school is located in South Los Angeles, where most students are under served.

Our school serves Pre-K-5th grades and is located in the Crenshaw corridor that serves approximately 420 students school-wide.

Five principles guide our work: innovation, critical thinking, learning, preserving, and leadership. Our scholars are motivated, innovative and eager to learn!

My Project

The project materials will effectively enhance my students' learning. By providing multiple ways to show their work, thoughts, and process, students will be able to stay focused and engaged. My students need different ways to demonstrate their thinking and have fun doing it! Materials like whiteboards, buzzers and teacher guides will provide my students the opportunity to learn effectively. From what I have observed so far, my students need to develop their collaborative skills. By using multiple modalities, my students will enjoy working with partners and groups while growing academically. My students also need to work on their organizational skills, with the help of a student mailbox, they will be able to practice.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Without the help of generous donors, we can not afford even the most basic supplies, like notebooks and whiteboard markers. As our mission is to develop innovative learners, my students need more materials to expand their thinking as well as elaborate on their thinking. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need for a successful school year. Additionally, help me illustrate my students' development and hard work! By donating the instant camera and printer, I will be able to consistently document my student's work and publish their thinking. This will bring more community and ownership to our learning space.
