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

Our school is located in a large urban city. Our teachers and staff provide a safe and fun learning environment. There are many experiences for all to have, but many students stay within our area. Most parents are immigrants. They are hardworking, caring, and involved. Our school is Title I, forty percent English Learners, and all kids receive free lunch.

My students are creative and come to school every day ready to learn.

Kids love readers and writers workshop as well as anything to do with math and science. We work on projects through the year that incorporate classroom presentations and parent participation.

My Project

Teaching remotly for the last year has been tough! I created this project to start planning a fresh start for in person learning in the Fall. I want my students to be able to start the year with their own materials and supplies. With COVID restrictions at the moment, sharing is not allowed and probaly won't be next year either.

I have ordered new pencil boxes, pencils, erasers and classroom supplies to teach interactive lessons.

I have also added bulletin board borders and fadless butcher paper to add some much needed life to the classroom environment.
