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 have the privilege of working at such a diverse school. My students come from a variety of cultural backgrounds. We are a school located in the South Bronx with many challenges. Despite the community, our students are eager to explore and learn.

Our school is also considered a transitional school due to all the surrounding shelters.

I love working with this community. My students are faced with lots of challenges but somehow they make it to school each day with a huge smile. Seeing them being so resilient makes me want to work harder to provide them with all I can. My students are resilient, curious, and creative. They love to read, create art, and use their imagination daily. Our classroom is a big ball of fun, where they come to create, explore, and invent through new experiences.

As their teacher, it is my job to support them in all walks of life. When I enter the classroom I become their friend, nurse counselor, mom, and so many other things depending on their arrival. I take pride in providing myself to my little ones and their families.

My Project

I hope when you read this you are in the best of health. I want you to know that working with my babies is truly a joy. I would love to get a microwave for Pre-K you see most of my babies come to school hungry and since the pandemic they serve cold food to the children. I can understand however its cold outside and they need hot food in their little stomach not frozen bagels and waffles. Nothing against anyone I would make extra effort to heat up their food. I also got snacks for them to take home for the weekends. I want to take care of the whole child. Thank you in advance
