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 classroom is filled with hard working fifth graders. My students have to work a little harder than your average student because they are still learning the English language. Not only are my students expected to keep up with grade level content... they must also master English. I teach at a Title I school, so my students also come into class facing other hardships, but despite what they may be going through, they come in smiling and ready to go.

I strive to make a difference in all my students, constantly trying to find ways to inspire them.

I aim to make learning fun and engaging all while creating a caring/loving learning environment.

My Project

I am asking if I could get funding to cover the expenses for the Teach Your Heart Out conference, food, lodging, and gas to help with the transportation to drive to San Diego, California.

The Teach Your Heart Out convention would give me the opportunity to be inspired, motivated, and empowered to increase student engagement in my classroom.

Their strategies are cutting edge and research-based. I would love to meet some top educators and learn about their best practices, ideas, strategies, and stories. Additionally, I will bring the ideas back to my school to collaborate with others. I look forward to being able to bring back instructional practices that are new, fun, and engaging.
