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 creative, thoughtful, and inquisitive! This diverse group of fourth graders possess a thirst for knowledge and are avid readers with advanced technological skills. They are truly an incredible group and I am so blessed and thankful to have looped from the third grade with this amazing group of scholars that are excited and ready to learn each year!

Thanks to the amazing support of my parents and the positive atmosphere of my classroom, my scholars are genuine, intelligent, respectful, fun, and thoughtful students!

My scholars come to school eager to learn! I teach at a Title I school, which means more than half of our families are at or near the poverty line.

I love to watch my students grow both personally and academically. Although they are all very different and some face challenges, they all have one thing in common: they love coming to school, even this year as they face the challenges of a pandemic!

My Project

Our glow classroom will be full of exciting and engaging learning centers! The visual effects of neon lights and glowing features will motivate our students to participate in unique learning activities. By collaborating with their peers on creative learning activities our 4th grade scholars will attain valuable educational and social skills.

Our classroom will come alive with vibrant colors, motivating this talented group to express their unique talents.

They will explore diverse curriculum areas, in particular, financial literacy. Students will learn valuable ways to save, invest, and donate as responsible citizens. By enhancing the curriculum with highly motivating activities, our scholars will flourish academically and attain desired learning goals successfully.
