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 students this year are excited and ready to learn! They are kind, sweet kiddos, and I am so grateful to have every single one of them in my class! Our school is a Title I school. So we have an extremely low income population. We also have 100% free breakfast and free lunch, so any donations for my students are so incredibly appreciated.

My students are working so hard this year to make their goals and achieve all they can in the 1st grade!

My Project

As a teacher in a Title I school, it has been my goal to create a classroom environment where my students feel happy and comfortable.

Many of my students sadly come from homes that make them feel unsafe, and/or do not provide a "cozy" feeling that we would want to provide for children at home.

Therefore, it is a dream for me to be able to have my students walk into my classroom and instantly feel comforted, safe, and excited to be there. I also want a classroom environment that cultivates a calming experience for students so that they are able to better focus and concentrate on their learning and work experience.
