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

Our school is located in southwest Detroit. My students come to school eager and ready to learn. A majority of my students are English Language Learners (ELL/ESL). Their native language is Spanish, with little English spoken at home. It is necessary to provide them with as many learning opportunities as possible within the classroom.

My students are amazing.

They are unique in their own ways and have different learning styles. A variety of learning tools and hands-on activities in my classroom are a must. My goal is to help them achieve all their goals and dreams.

My Project

I have had to provide my students with water bottles each and every day. After about a week of going through one too many plastic bottles, I decided that there had to be a better way to keep my students' thirst quenched throughout the day.

Water bottles will allow my students to access water throughout the day with an option to refill when needed.

Using water bottles will reduce the waste caused from plastic bottles. Having a readily available cup will also limit disruption, allowing students to "take a sip" throughout the day.
