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

My students engage with learning when they have the right supports. I care deeply about their growth—not just in mastering mathematics, but in developing confidence and problem-solving skills. I enjoy tailoring lessons to address their misconceptions and watching them have those "aha!" moments when a concept finally clicks. My passion extends beyond the classroom too, as I guide them in track and field, encouraging discipline, teamwork, and resilience.

These resources will create a structured, engaging, and supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to excel.

My students will use the privacy screens so they can stay focused while testing. The easels and markers will be used for brainstorming in groups. The snacks will be used as small incentives for completing assignments.
