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

Hello, my children are special not only by being survivors of the recent flood but, because they come from low income households. Their neighborhoods are also low income and have a lot of gang involvement. Their parents work just to make ends meet and are gone for the majority of the day at work. Their families are immigrants from other countries who have come to ours for a better life. They are mainly Spanish speaking children learning English as a second language. Our school has a program in place that we use to help children learn English. It is a 2 hour block all in English and my children try to speak to the other classmates in English if they can. We do this everyday to easy them into speaking English and get them ready for Kindergarten and for the State exams they will encounter in 3rd grade and on.

My Project

One area my students struggle the most with is listening and manipulatives to learn . I'm requesting math,science, language, manipulatives so that I can set up their practice stations. At these stations, students will be able to listen and practice/re teach what has been taught.

The addition of these materials would give my students a much needed boost of practice in the areas of listening and speaking, math, science .

Students who are confident in their abilities will be ready to face the challenges of higher education and the workplace. I give the stepping stones to our future leaders today.
