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

We've had a great start to the school year. I want to build a community that is kind, and thoughtful. Our class has 3rd-grade inquirers who are jubilant to embark upon this new learning year. We want to support and nourish their new classroom experience. They enjoy flexible learning options that are provided in the workshop curriculum which require a highly organized environment.

They are caring, gregarious, open-minded, balanced, and reflective.

They are eager to learn and thrilled to explore new learning options in the classroom. They possess an inspirational attitude towards learning. Their love of learning is visible every day and is very inspirational!

My Project

The holiday season is known to be both exciting and stressful. Because this is the season of love, please help bring my students some joy and happiness. Letting my students know that we are thinking about them, we care about them, and we wish them well is super special. Overall, this holiday gift will shine a light during the most amazing days of the year.

With this holiday joy, my students will bring home a tangible piece of our school community along with our most sincere wishes for harmony, peace, and love.

My students will be reminded of the importance of family and community. Not only will they play Guess Who and Suspend, they will also be able to read one of our classroom's favorite book, Aaron Slater, Illustrator, to their siblings, and family. Since Aaron Slater, Illustrator is one of our classes favorite books, my students would be so excited and surprised to receive Ada Twist, Scientist, and Iggy Peck, Architect as well. We will build community and celebrate the holiday season both in school and at home.
