We are all Immigrants: Field Trip and Tour of Ellis Island

My students need help covering the cost of admission and a tour of Ellis Island so they can experience history firsthand. New York City is a living classroom and my students should be able to learn from it.

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

Each of my advanced placement students enters their junior year full of excitement. I intend to meet that excitement with quality experiences that are available in New York City.

These students are high achieving juniors that have succeeded at an exemplary level on the Global Regents exam in their sophomore year.

They have been selected to be members of the Advanced Placement program due to their drive and thirst for knowledge. My students come from different sections of New York City and represent many ethnic and racial groups. The one unifying academic factor is the need for challenging courses for growth as scholars. Also, they all come from families that are struggling financially.

My Project

This project will help cover the cost of admission and a tour of Ellis Island so my students can experience history firsthand. New York City is a living classroom and my students should be able to learn from it. Each month we will prepare to use New York City as our classroom, and the culmination will be our field trip to Ellis Island. These enrichment activities will provide for experiences that financially secure families provide for their own children. My students should have as much choice as possible, and these experiences will expand their possibilities.

Your donation to this project will make a difference to my students by providing additional experiences outside the classroom.

This field trip to Ellis Island will enrich my students' understanding of American history and meet their needs for additional sources of knowledge.
