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

I teach in a school where the students come from mostly a low socioeconomic background, and many of them are immigrants that recently arrived in this country. This year, I am teaching 60 fifth graders. Many of my students face challenges both in and out of the classroom. My goal is to create a fun, inviting, and engaging classroom community for them to come to every day.

These are kids who want to beat the odds but have so much stacked against them.

These headphones, organizers, and other items are things we will be using every day to be able to make learning effective and engaging! Glue sticks and scissors are used to create fun activities in their science journals, and are meant to make the material more engaging for our visual learners.

Teaching is hard, every small effort counts in making school and learning fun!

These tools will help us make the everyday tasks more entertaining for our students! With everything happening in our world, keeping our students safe and EXCITED to come to school is definitely essential!
