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 learn and grow from my students on a day to day basis. They overcome and bounce back from situations that most could never even imagine. My students, as well as all the students in our school, come from lower income families. 100% of the students enrolled in our school qualify for free school lunches.

My goal for my classroom is to provide students a positive learning environment that will ensure the success of all students.

I want students to feel comfortable in their learning space, work together to accomplish learning tasks and activities, and foster their creativity and passion for learning.

My Project

Reading is the pathway to all careers and pathways through life and every child deserves the right to become a great reader. The students at our school lack the resources to foster and support a love for reading. That is where you can change their life.

Leveled Reading Books and the supplies to be able to carry them back and forth to school and home can positively impact each child's life.

Reading books at their level gives students the confidence to continue to read. It also allows students to move from level to level faster and become the great reader I know they can be!
