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 school is a Title I school with a diverse population of students. The large majority of my students come from low income families. Despite the many challenges my students face on a daily basis, they have a strong desire to learn, grow, and be the best they can be.

It is my greatest passion and calling to help students be kind and loving and to develop a love of learning and reading.

I also have a strong desire to create a welcoming environment which promotes cooperation, collaboration, critical thinking skills and an excited feeling of coming to school everyday. I have converted my classroom to use flexible seating. I strive to create a comfortable environment for all styles of learners.

Once you get kids excited about learning, you give them a lifelong gift. I teach skills that will last a lifetime like hard work and critical thinking.

My school encourages a growth mindset and strives to have a strong community where everyone feels welcomed. I want to support my students in their learning by providing a more comfortable and inviting classroom.

My Project

I am in desperate need of a new rug and some new seating options for flexible seating in my classroom. Students perform better when they are in a comfortable and safe environment. We take chances and make mistakes in our classroom and that is when the best learning occurs.

Students will be able to sit on the rug during group time, partner talking and to play reading and math games.

Students take pride in their classroom and enjoy the comfy and cozy environment that I try to create. We are all family in our classroom and support each others' learning.
