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

This year is my fourth year teaching. It is also my fourth year teaching third grade and I have loved every second of it. My goal this year is to create a diverse and engaging classroom that appeals to the learning styles of ALL of my students. I want to incorporate flexible seating, more technology, exciting read alouds that inspire personal growth, and more hands on activities! I hope to make learning fun and attainable for my students. We would be lucky to have your help!

My Project

I am so passionate about this project because as I've gotten to know my students, I have learned that they have a really hard time communicating effectively. They find it difficult to see each other's perspectives and to truly listen to another person's point of view as if it were equally as important as their own. My hope is that through reading these stories about compassion, empathy, and kindness, my students will be able to better embody each of these traits. They have really latched onto our read aloud time, so this could be the perfect opportunity to reach them.
