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

The school that I am teaching at is a low income school that is 99% free and reduced lunch. We are still able to maintain a high standard of education for all students due to our motto (110% No Excuses). We have received for the past two years "7 Stars of Distinction", which is one of the State of Texas highest achievements.

I am fortunate to teach our most challenging students.

These students require special attention due to their learning disabilities. Even though our school services this population, due to the small numbers of special education students, it is sometimes over looked. Our school has about 1400 students of which 133 are special needs. I work with special needs students in up to four content areas. part of my job is to work with general education teachers and document the improvements the special ed. children are making. For this, I would like a tablet, which would be an easy way out of lengthy paperwork.

Unfortunately, my school was also affected by Hurricane Harvey. There are now seven special education teachers sharing an office. We are lacking anti bacterial and various office supplies.

My Project

Since we are a Title 1 school and inner city, the students can never have enough school supplies. We don't want to make them feel bad for not bring a pencil and eraser to school. Most of the time we give supplies out of our personal stuff. Sometimes, it is not easy due to lack of the simple things. These supplies will make it easier for students who are unable to afford basic supplies.

Our SPED office is quite tight and we lack office materials.

All SPED teachers have caseloads of around 20 student, tablets would be beneficial in keeping up with the students progress in classes and facilitate some of the paperwork.
