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 Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Each day, they come to class eager to explore new concepts, and it is my goal to create an environment that nurtures that passion.

Disinfecting wipes are essential in maintaining a clean and safe classroom.

By ensuring a hygienic space, students can focus on their learning without the distraction of illness. Dry-erase markers are invaluable for math calculations, allowing students to visualize problems and collaborate during lessons. The interactive nature of using whiteboards fosters engagement and encourages them to express their thought processes.

Candy such as sour punch, Life Savers, Jolly Ranchers, and Hershey's serves as a fun incentive, motivating students to participate actively and strive for their best. This small reward system builds a positive classroom culture where effort is acknowledged and celebrated. Additionally, offering snacks helps to keep students energized and focused throughout the day. A well-fed student is better able to concentrate, participate, and retain information.

Together, these resources contribute to a dynamic and supportive learning environment. They not only enhance the educational experience but also show my students that I care about their well-being and success. Ultimately, these tools empower them to reach their full potential.
