Celebrating 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

My students were ranked in the top 6-12 schools in all five boroughs of New York for the third year in a row! There are vast reasons for my students' success such as data-driven Instruction, individually tracking the progress of each student, and the development of Interventions to meet the needs of every student. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring with them unique perspectives that enrich our classroom discussions and activities. I am in awe of their curiosity, their thirst for knowledge, and their willingness to try new things. What makes our students truly special, however, is their dedication to learning despite the challenges they face. Despite these obstacles, they show up to class every day with a positive attitude, ready to learn and grow

A good quality backpack has plenty of pockets and allows for students' belongings to be organized.

Despite the fact that backpacks are flexible and lightweight, they provide maximum security for the products inside them. Moreover, some backpacks are waterproof. That means the fabric of the backpack can save the student's belongings from getting wet.

In addition, many people still don't associate backpacks with fashion, but my students do. They do not want to carry around an ugly backpack. In fact, they want stylish backpacks where they can keep school stuff and personal items. and most importantly a backpack they can use for sports and gym-related exercises.

Having supplies like book bags will give our students and parents one less thing to worry about. Many students come to school unprepared, and a backpack can support them with organization skills. Finally, my current and former students are composed of students with various learning styles and abilities. It makes sense, therefore, that providing them with book bags will benefit them and will be used for multiple purposes.
