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 are curious, outgoing, and full of life. They enjoy learning new things and getting their hands dirty. However, most are living in poverty and a violence-stricken neighborhood. The everyday struggles that my students endure are motivation enough to do all I can to help make their classroom experience a fun, exciting, and safe journey.

Our school works collaboratively to create a nurturing community where our children feel safe and important.

I try my best to create a classroom that fosters curiosity, adventure, and growth. I hope to bring technology into the classroom and allow them to explore the endless possibilities that await them in the world.

Mrs. Sarno
Grades 3-5
