Celebrating 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 second and third grade teacher in a low-income, high-poverty school district. I have a class of wonderful second and third graders who are English language learners, special education students, and general education students who come from various ethnic backgrounds.
Despite the many challenges my students face, my students come to school eager to learn and strive to do better.
The recent pandemic has really put a major obstacle in front of our students. School closures have separated our students from us teachers, counselors and other staff members who support them during important developmental transitions and difficult times.
Despite these circumstances, my students are doing their best to learn from home but lack basic school supplies and food that they would have received during a normal school day.
The closures of schools across the country, will likely precipitate a “widening gap” between low- and high-income students. School closures prompted by the Coronavirus pandemic have sent families scrambling for solutions—balancing their work schedules with childcare and their children's needs for social stimulation and learning. As a result, many of my students are in need at this time. Please help me give my students everything they need.
My Project
Please help me make learning easier at home for my students by giving them magnetic manipulatives that will allow them to easily display their words and problems. With magnetic letters and numbers they will be able to use each of these resources for building words, solving math problems and writing stories. They can display them on magnetic boards and hold them up to the camera! How much easier would learning be, for our kids at home, if they could just show their work virtually? Let’s make learning fun again and give them the resources they need!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
