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

Hi everyone! I am a first-year chemistry teacher in the greater-Boston area. I just finished my Master's program and I'll be working at a high-need school with primarily English Language Learners. I'm very excited to create a safe space where students can feel comfortable learning and building their identity in science. Currently, the only thing I have for my classroom is what the school has provided me. Everything on my list ( chart paper, notebooks, markers, laminator, pencils, etc.) will help me support my students and their learning.

Any support I can get as I get my first classroom ready would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Ms. Yessika Margarita Muniz Academy Grades 9-12
