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

My students are very creative, innovative, and, above all, curious. They come to school excited and eager for me to bring the world to them. They love for me not only to challenge them but to go beyond. My students continually need to be engaged and entertained with the idea that "the sky's the limit." This pushes me to provide experiences that they would normally not have at their own homes.

My Project

This year has definitely been a difficult one for many, especially for our students.

Even in the midst of a pandemic, my students have tried their best to stay focused and keep learning.

I want them to be recognized for their hard work, commitment and dedication. I would like for them to have a bucket filled with fun games, goodies, and lots of love and affection. This bucket full of surprises will bring many smiles to my students' lives. I am sure that it will be a joyful and unforgettable experience.
