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 live in a city where crime rates are high and there is a 98% poverty rate. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences that any other student is able to have.

Although I may not be able to control their home lives, I can certainly control their experience during the school day.

By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My students, although only 3 and 4 years old are hard workers, and they deserve to come to school and feel safe and loved, and I'm happy to be the one who is able to give them that.

My Project

This project will help my students by keeping our classroom organized. Organization can be the key to success. My students can come into the class and know that every one and everything has its place. I have both an AM and PM session of Pre-K, totaling 27 students. I only have my students for a short time each day, and time is precious. I do not want to waste that valuable time searching for items and materials.

An organized class is a successful class!

The utility cart will be a storage center for student work. This will be the most valuable asset to the classroom. We will use the trays to keep supplies in their place. The storage center will be used to take work back and forth from home to school.
