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

As a New York City Department of Education teacher in the Bronx, I have witnessed my students of all ages, year after year, facing several obstacles that occur both in and out of the school environment. Even though they are faced with many obstacles at such an early age, my students try their best to overcome their hardships with a positive mindset. They arrive at school every morning with motivation and eagerness. They then leave with a strong sense of gratitude because of the education and opportunity that they have received.

I work in a large, Title I school with a very high population of either low income-high poverty residents or English Language Learners.

In the majority of cases, it is both. It is my goal to uplift my students in several aspects, which include their mental, emotional, social, and academic state.

My Project

This project is for a room makeover! My students deserve a bright, beautiful learning environment. This project will do just that! The paper and decorations will allow me to take down all the torn, tattered, staple-ridden bulletin boards and put up fresh paper to make everything new again!

The decorations will give my room just the new look I am hoping for and make my students excited and happy to come to school each day!

Some things I am requesting include motivational posters, bulletin borders and plants to place around the classroom! The card stock paper will be used to make letters for our word wall and banners for each subject.
