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

My students are inquisitive and outgoing learners. Throughout the year, they have challenged themselves to grow as readers and digital citizens.

They have worked to develop a collaborative and safe atmosphere in the classroom where we can discuss texts, scholastic ideas, and real-world problems.

Within time, the students became an inseparable community of support where real-life struggles were being shared. This group has shown immense maturity in providing emotional support through their growth in middle school. Not only that, but these students also vocalize when they are struggling with something, educationally or internally. That element of education makes this group remarkable; they work to vocalize and give affirmation of their peers' self-worth and ability.

My Project

With the increase of this pandemic, schools are doing their best to create and promote wellness. Many schools have done their best to update the classrooms. Since our school district has estimated a return at the end of the month, the goal is to create the safest environment possible for the students.

The use of an air purifier in the classroom would provide my students with increased safety measures to promote a comfortable environment.

With the addition into the classroom, it would work to create the best possible circumstance for my students. An air purifier would work on low energy usage to reduce the number of allergens, germs, and dusts that commonly and constantly irritate.

By integrating this into the classroom, it would enhance the students' learning experience by providing them quality air filtration that would promote the safety that the students need now more than ever. The ultimate goal is to create a safe environment for the students to learn.
