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

My students attend A. E., a Title I school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Many of my students do not get their academic needs met at home. Their parents often struggle to help their students with basic homework, whether it be because they are unfamiliar with the concepts or they are working a nighttime job. There are also several ESL students whose parents speak only Spanish. The entire school qualifies for free lunch and many receive vouchers for school uniforms.

Although some come from a difficult home life, they still come to school enthusiastic and persevere through their day.

During the three years I have been here, I have had several foster students and students living with grandparents.

Despite their life realities, these students make me go home with a smile on my face and a sense of accomplishment that I can make a difference in their lives.

My Project

Many of my students are not able to bring in supplies at various points in the school year. Others are high energy who can't sit still or are easily distracted and are in need of sensory outlets to focus. With a tightening budget nationwide, students are missing out on great learning opportunities in the classroom.

Supplies and sensory needs are crucial to my Title I students' success in order to focus on their academics rather than the hardships that they face on a daily basis.

Students who have brought in fidget spinners have shown a level of success to stay on task. I am asking for sensory balls for my class which can be less distracting than the spinners. I have also seen success with students who listen to electronic and classical music when working on individual assignments. Headphones have been useful to connect to electronics, but supplies are limited and our school budget struggles to replace worn headphones.

My students do a lot of writing and erasing in all subjects. They write multiple drafts in their journals and other assignments. My students also take an enormous amount of notes in Math, Reading, Science and Social Studies, and are in need of simple supplies such as pencils, erasers, and handheld pencil sharpeners. Also, because behavior management has been a primary focus for the success of my classroom, I am asking for timers that will be used for assignments as well as class rewards for positive reinforcement when students display hard work and good behavior.
