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 Project

My students are enthusiastic learners, explorers, and passionate about learning. They are our future bilingual leaders! Students at my school are curious, compassionate, and creative. For English language learners, hands-on education is important and is truly valued.

I would like to have options for my students to get off their cell phones and go plant outside and learn to grow and beautify our school grounds.

Part of learning is being able to play and have brain breaks. Some of the resources I have requested include class garden hand shovels, wildflower seeds, sunflower seeds, a garden classroom book, and aprons.

I am an English Language Development teacher at an Oklahoma City high school in an impoverished urban area. Many of my students do not have access to reliable internet at home and rely on our school's online virtual classroom for exposure to educational technology. Our population of students is often exposed to various levels of trauma. Studies have shown that creativity or drawing reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Our kids often do not have access to updated levels of technology. They should not suffer for their circumstances and I want to make learning an unforgettable, healthy, productive, and magical experience for them!

Please help me provide resources to my students. Thank you so much for your support.

Ms. Bolaños
Grades 9-12
