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 wonderful second-grade students are so driven to learn. They love discovering and exploring. They are always looking for an extra challenge for their brains.

This year, my students have worked really hard as a family to love each other individually.

They embrace our differences and learn to hear each other's opinions. As a family, they have worked on combining subjects in the classroom as we create different projects, some relating to STEM.

I am so proud of my students and their great citizenship skills in the classroom. They display a great sense of respect towards myself and each other. They learn that mistakes are okay and that they can hear other peoples' opinions without getting into arguments. They are learning through real-world examples and are so excited about the future that is to come for them. Thank you for supporting this amazing bunch of kids!

My Project

Students love novel and colorful items in the classroom. It's plain fun. Beautifully colored Post-it notes will be a high motivator for students to take extra pride and care with their assignments. Colorful flair pens will add more creativity and color to our classroom. This would help with many subjects: poetry, science, financial literacy, social studies, etc. In our class, we talk about presenting information to whoever may be reading or seeing your work. Taking that extra time to add care to the details with a hint of color, a special font, or an interesting picture to highlight information helps students put their best foot forward in all that they do.

This concept is setting the foundation for presentation skills later on in life and future careers.

Putting care and attention to aesthetics and details can make any project shine. As the students prepare for jobs like graphic designer or needing to make presentation for any sort of business meeting, I want them to be mindful of how they express information and themselves. Something as simple as colored pens and Post-its can provide that, even and especially, at a young age. Thank you in advance for helping these students add more skill sets to their tool box and more colors to their pencil box.
