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

What makes my students special? Their potential! I see future computer programmers, doctors, engineers, dentists, musicians, artists, teachers, aide workers, botanists, etc.

My students have the resiliency and integrity to be the leaders of the 21st century.

They are eager learners and will make the 21st century a century of great discoveries for obstacles facing mankind such as cures for diseases, colonizing space, protecting our ozone, ending droughts and starvation, etc. Many of my students have environmental obstacles like low social economics, poor housing, insufficient positive role models, lack of basic needs such as a coat or a pencil. Yet, they overcome and rise. They enter my classroom daily with a smile and a need to learn. They want to make the world a better place for themselves and the future.

I was the same as my students at one time. I was a foster student in the same city and knew words like​ fear, hunger, poor, and pain. I knew I was a stereotype, but thanks to teachers and their introduction to literature, I learned about other worlds around me, to have integrity, and to be resilient.

My Project

We need to replenish our ink in our classroom printer. Thanks to donors like you we have been able to print out materials for students to take home in the classroom thus eliminating the need of waiting to get to the school copier and keeping us safe.

My second grade superstars have handled this new way of learning in a superb manner.

They have adjusted to so many changes in their lives. I am so lucky to have such a resilient group of students during this pandemic. I would like to reward them weekly for all their hard work. The rewards are squishy toys which not only works as a reward but a stress reliever.
