Celebrating 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

The students will no longer have to go to the hallway for drinks or to refill their water bottles. This will increase instructional time and limit distractions throughout the day.

My goal is to save instructional time and provide students with convenience by having a water cooler in the classroom.

This will be a new thing I will test out next year and other teacher have wanted to do this as well.

My students are special because they put a smile on my face. A lot of students come from a rough life/background and I have been that safe space for them and I love it when they tell me that. My next set of students have already formed a bond with me and they seem just as amazing as my students from this year.
