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

As a teacher in a Title One school, sometimes resources are scarce. Despite the scarcity, I am looking to provide my students with unique materials and experiences inside our classroom.

My students are creative, kind, and very enthusiastic about learning.

They love to have fun while they learn and they learn best with activities that spark their interest. From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their individual needs and growth. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

Do you remember how excited you would get when you received mail addressed to you when you were a child? Help me bring that magic into my students' lives by connecting us through the mail!

I'd love to send my students achievement certificates, awards, hand written letters, and other fun surprises through the mail.

I want my students to feel seen, loved, and recognized for their hard work!

Even though we are apart during virtual learning, I'm hoping to bridge the gap and connect with my students on a whole new level.
