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

This will be my third year​ teaching at a low-income/high-poverty school. I teach second grade. As heartbreaking as it is, most of my students are faced with many challenges in and out of the classroom.

All of my students deserve to be healthy and happy.

Though I cannot control what happens outside of the classroom, I can certainly control what happens inside. My students come to class feeling loved, supported, and engaged. I have a wide range of students in my classroom. Some students are highly intelligent and some have developmental delays. This does not stop me from providing them the education that they need.

I love all of my students, and they each bring joy to my life as a teacher.

I look forward to building a positive classroom during my third year of teaching.

My Project

My classroom is filled with so may different cultures. I want all of my students to feel like they are seen and loved. One thing that breaks my heart is that students can never find the right crayon for their skin tone. I was fortune enough to have a project funded for a classroom set of skin colored crayon so that I never have to worry about that heartbreak. My goal is to make sure our classroom books represent diversity and inclusion. It's important to me that our classroom feels like a safe place for my students.

These books will make sure ALL students are represented in our classroom!

These books are an important part of learning and I am thrilled to create a project that will celebrate diversity and represent all students through the selected items!
