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 student's have the potential to become more than what they believe. Over half of our school is labeled as economically disadvantaged. I want to give each child the confidence they need to succeed in school and later in life. They are eager to learn and I am always looking for opportunities to help foster their learning and growth in a positive way. I love to see their excitement when we begin a new topic to write about.

I believe that with the right materials and my eagerness to teach, I can help them overcome any obstacles they are facing now.

My Project

In the past, when there was more funds available, each child was given a binder with supplies to enhance their writing to help them prepare for the State test. I have used and reused the binders we had. I only have about 15 that are in O.K. shape and I have 60 students.

With these binders, pens, and other supplies, this will not only impact the students I have now, but future writers that come into my classroom.

I want them to feel that everything they write in their binder is theirs, and I want them to take ownership of it, because that will help them become the author's that are in them that are waiting to come out to meet the world.
