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 always excited to learn new things, they have endless creativity, enlightenment, energy, imagination, and that's what makes them innovative learners. They are full of energy and watching them learn as they discover something new is what inspires me to be the best teacher I can be.

Many students in our school come from low socioeconomic homes that may not have all the resources, regardless of this they are eager to learn and make every day count.

This year I would always tell my students "I cannot see your smile, but I can see you smile with your eyes." As these words are said, many of our students show their happiness through their creativity and learning and show me they care for each other by making a heart sign.

My Project

Students love to learn, what a better way to teach them about those who help them and they are surrounded by every day. What does a nurse do? How do they help us? How does a cashier help us? How does the delivery man/woman help us? I want them to know that community helpers are always there to help us.

I will love for my students to recognize, learn, and be thankful for all those who are our heroes, those who helped us through this epidemic and beyond!

Help me give my students books, blocks, legos, puppets that all tie in to one theme, community helpers. Thank you for all your help!
