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 full of strength, community, and empathy. They cultivate these skills inside and outside of the classroom by being active participants in their own education. I will continue to nourish their passions by providing them with as many engaging resources as possible.

My students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, but they stay defined and motivated by their strengths.

My classroom remains centered around my students concerns and interests because they are activist and leaders in their life. I will continue to empower my students through any resources I can get my hands on.

My Project

My students are a diverse bunch and everything in their classroom should represent that. The colored pencils and markers with a broad color range, including skin tone, will allow them to create illustrations relevant to their lives! With every decision I make in my classroom I try to remain student centered, and representing everyone in the classroom is an enormous part of that.

Although it will be my first year teaching I believe my students deserve and organized classroom that will facilitate an engaging learning experience.

All the materials listed will help me build my classroom from nothing into something! Students will use clipboards to engage in flexible seating during classroom time and storage bins to keep their personal belongings organized. Other objects like the pencil sharpener and white board markers are necessities to any new classroom. I appreciate every bit of support before starting my first year of teaching. Thank you!
