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

Imagine having a language-based learning disability while learning to speak English. This is the situation that most of my students find themselves in. Many of my students have speech and language impairments, dyslexia and dysgraphia. I am an ENL co-teacher in two 2nd grade inclusion classrooms. Hence, my students are also learning English as a New Language. One may assume that these students, with two strikes against them, would have little inspiration for succeeding academically. However, this is not the case in my school. My students are bright and curious. They are grateful for the opportunities that a great education can give them. They LOVE school!

The families of my students come to New York City for opportunities and the hope of a better life.

As newly arrived and first-generation immigrants, my students are eager to succeed in this country. Many of my students come from nations that do not offer opportunities for special education students to reach their full potential. In our school, they find a haven where differences are celebrated and young minds are nurtured and loved. Our Title I school provides 2 free meals a day to all students.

My Project

At this point in the school year I need to differentiate the materials that I send home to my remote students on a monthly basis. The ink toner cartridge, Hammermill paper, Astrobrights cardstock, electric stapler and binder clips will help me to create personalized instructional booklets and sight word rings for each student. The sheet protectors and binders will allow me to make reusable dry erase pages to will help met the needs of some of my higher achieving students. The answer paddles and dry erase markers will help some of my more reluctant students to communicate while on zoom calls.

If you can help to provide the supplies to make this project happen, then I will be able to create individualized packets to help meet the needs of my all of students as individuals!

This project will help me to print and deliver individualized reading strategy booklets to each student. While we are learning remotely we are bonding in new and special ways. However any group of 50 students (or humans in general) have a plethora of specific needs and interests.
