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

My classroom is full of creative students who are eager to learn. Their passion and excitement when they arrive at school motivates me to be the best possible teacher, for them. For many of my students, they look forward to school because it is a place where they only have to worry about themselves. They come to school to feel appreciated, develop friendships and to challenge themselves to grow and be better students and well-rounded individuals.

My students love coming to school because it's a place where they can feel important, comfortable and have fun!

I strive so hard to make my students feel welcome in my classroom and to make each student aware of the value that they personally add to our classroom. As a result, they very much understand that they are an asset to our community, and this belief motivates them to show up every day, on time, and makes them excited about receiving a quality education. I work tirelessly to let my students know that I believe in them, in hopes that they will also believe in themselves!

My Project

I want to transform my classroom into a place of magic and wonder! My goal is to convert the bland everyday classroom into a Hogwarts/Harry Potter themed room, full of enchantment, excitement and competition. Upon entering the room, the students can leave their troubles outside the door while they let their imaginations run wild.

My students will explore camaraderie and competition through the recreation of the four Hogwarts houses within our own classroom, both earning and lose points based on performance, behavior and actions within and outside the classroom!

I want this classroom to be a place where they can feel excited to come each day. Something different from the normal structure they sit within all day. I hope that this classroom transformation can set the bar from day 1 that reading and learning can also be fun!
