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

I have 20, inquisitive, fourth grade, gifted students in my classroom. They are full of curiosity, energy, and love to learn.

My students come diverse backgrounds, but ultimately they all share a love learning about the world around them!

My goal is to keep that love for learning and inquisitive fire in them by providing them a safe classroom environment that promotes learning and create active life long learners. Ultimately, I want to prepare students for the real world and encourage individual learning and self growth especially during these unprecedented times.

My Project

Students need their own materials to be successful in class and stay safe.

Before COVID-19, sharing materials was part of our everyday routine.

However, now with flu season here and COVID-19 still lingering in our community, I need to supply the students with materials if they do not come to class with what they need to complete their work. I need to have highlighters, markers, paper, and pencils ready for students if for some reason they do not bring them to school.

Also, a clean classroom is a safe classroom. I have my students disinfect their desks and our doors daily in order to stay safe and healthy. The Clorox wipes will help my students continue our disinfecting routine and will be able to continue to keep my students healthy so that they can continue to learn in our classroom.
