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 teach at the tip of Texas, bordering Mexico, where my students speak Spanglish. They face many challenges such as dyslexia, special needs, and are socioeconomically disadvantaged, but that doesn't stop them from dreaming big.

They are determined, hard-working children, willing to learn no matter their circumstances.

I teach second-grade, bilingual students who inspire me on a daily basis. These students come everyday excited to start class. They enjoy hands-on activities, crafts, group activities, and especially working with technology. They face many challenges, but they don't let these challenges take over their learning experience.

Many come without knowing English, but with their determination and support from their families, they are able to conquer everything. Many students are economically disadvantaged. However, none of those factors affect these children because they want to learn. It is very satisfying seeing all these children progress throughout the school year.

I work at a very supportive school where students come first. We are all about meeting our children's needs. Our administrators have created a safe, happy environment for everyone at our school: students, staff, teachers, and parents. I love working at the very tip of Texas where my students are very unique and wonderful.

My Project

Though times we are living right now! Everyone is going through social and emotional troubles; especially children. I have seen students being sad because lack of socialization. As a teacher, I am try to fill as many educational gaps during this time. However, my number one priority right one is their emotional well-being.

With face to face approaching, I would like to prepare our classroom and make it as welcoming as it can be.

I know some students will feel anxious to come back to school, so I want them to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. With the help of these classroom decorations such as the wall decals, cushions, fadeless wall paper, and curtains, I will be able to accomplish a peaceful and inviting classroom environment. I want the students to feel they belong in this classroom.
