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

Like many other schools around the country, my school was closed till the end of the year because of the pandemic. Students and teachers had to adjust to this new learning style in a blink of an eye. Students didn't take materials home and teachers expected to be back to pick up supplies and other teaching materials but that was not the case. Students are working from home with devices either supplied by the school or one that they have at home already which in some cases are old or broken. Teachers like myself made their dining room the new home classroom and work from any device in the household,

Our school is located in a low-economic neighborhood where about 90% of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Many come from broken homes that have been separated because of their dream to come to the United States or because of natural disasters. Some of the students in my school suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), are ESL students (English as a Second Language), and/or have other types of special needs. Regardless of their challenges, though, the majority of the students are very determined and eager to succeed.

My Project

It has been a difficult transition to Distance Learning from our regular classroom setting. While it is not ideal, we are all doing our best to keep the learning going and to stay connected as a class family! As I meet with them, I have realized that many of them have limited supplies at home or not at all.

This project will help me with different supplies to continue working from home.

Having the right supplies is essential. When it comes to academic success, the smallest details make the biggest difference. By having basic supplies, I will be able to give my students the best materials while addressing their specific learning needs and will increase their studying skills. The requested materials such as ink, copy paper will allow all me to print interactive sheets to keep my students actively engaged in their learning as they focus on the task at hand. A mobile folding cart will be very handy as I take materials and supplies back and forth from home to school.
