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

We are a Title One school located in East Palo Alto. We became a K-8 Dual Immersion school in August of 2012. Before that, our dual immersion program existed as a choice school inside a regular SEI (Structured English Immersion) school in the my district. Until last year, our enrollment was growing. This year, our enrollment declined drastically due to relocating to a new site/address which added a commute for many of our families. This made it exceedingly difficult as many of them used to walk their children to school every morning as they do not drive or have any form of transportation.

Our school is a dual immersion school, where our focus is to become bilingual and bi-literate learners.

It is located in a low-income community where most of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches. Often, we see students in the care of grandparents or other family members while their parents are working multiple jobs. However, I see the dedication and perseverance that our students and families have as they better develop their native language or are working on adding a second language.

My Project

A well-organized classroom sends a clear and positive message to students. When students know where their papers and materials are, it helps them get their assignments completed. It facilitates teaching and learning.

With these new storage bins and organizers, my kindergarteners will be able to follow routines and adapt to the new in person instruction after a long time of distanced learning.

The linking bins will help organize classroom books and make transitions easier during Reading Workshop. The paper trays will keep student work handy and the plastic supply cups will let children help themselves easily to their personal supplies.
