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

I teach in a low-income district in Phoenix, Arizona. My students are passionate, positive, and always pushing their limits! I am very proud to be their teacher! I look forward to each day I spend with them.

We are big on character education in the classroom; from using the "Bucket Filling" teachings to community service on campus.

I believe my students are capable of anything they set their minds to. Growth is important in the classroom and my students are always setting personal goals to become their best selves.

My Project

As an educator, I am looking to grow in the form of utilizing strategies in my classroom, as well as ways to maintain my health so that I can be my very best in the classroom. This past year has not been easy for educators, but I believe literature will allow me to become the best version of myself so that I may increase learning in my classroom. My students are very important to me and I look forward to learning from these new texts. We believe that readers are leaders!
