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

I have the privilege of working at such a diverse school. My students come from a variety of cultural backgrounds. We are a school located in the South Bronx with many challenges. Despite the community, our students are eager to explore and learn.

Our school is also considered a transitional school due to all the surrounding shelters.

I love working with this community. My students are faced with lots of challenges but somehow they make it to school each day with a huge smile. Seeing them being so resilient makes me want to work harder to provide them with all I can. My students are resilient, curious, and creative. They love to read, create art, and use their imagination daily. Our classroom is a big ball of fun, where they come to create, explore, and invent through new experiences.

As their teacher, it is my job to support them in all walks of life. When I enter the classroom I become their friend, nurse counselor, mom, and so many other things depending on their arrival. I take pride in providing myself to my little ones and their families.

My Project

I hope when you read this you are all doing well. This project is different from any of my others. I am trying to let parents know how valuable they are to my babies as well as to us all. In taking care of everyday task and the children we tend to forget about ourselves. We put ourselves last so I would like to offer my parents a care packet in hope that they will realize how wonderful they are. Life is not easy and sometimes we need to feel good about ourselves so I hope this care package lets them know You are Loved and Important!
