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 Project

At CHP, most students are at a disadvantage due to economic status. At this Title I school a diverse group of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Most kids being Hispanic, language also becomes a disadvantage. Due to their varied background, students at this preparatory institution have a learning gap to fill. With the materials requested not only will students have a greater chance of success with learning, but the technology will motivate students to participate in activities. Research has shown that technology allows students to grasp information at a higher and more efficient rate, therefore allowing students to have fun while learning. Headphones are the perfect accessories making lesson plans more easily heard. Additionally, headphones create quieter classrooms for better learning.

The supplies requested will significantly help my students in the classroom!

Headphones will be used for online learning, especially with language barriers. Headphones also give students the ability to listen to different things at one time. The writing supplies: pencils, crayons, dry-erase boards, and markers, will be used to help the students learn to write and draw creatively. The storage bins will aid in providing an organized environment to eliminate distractions and promote responsible organization. Having the right supplies helps enrich and facilitate students learning. Lastly, due to the pandemic, art time was removed and so were the supplies. The Crayolas will be a great way to reintroduce students to their creative and artistic nature.

With gratitude,

Mrs. Mendez
