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

The 4th and 5th-grade scholars I meet and greet as well as educate daily are real blessings. These scholars are reminded daily that they matter. The scholars that enter 5th-grade work so hard in conditions that are sometimes not pleasing.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds.

They love reading diverse books, participating in maker space activities and STEM challenges, and are very curious. Despite the challenges of learning in a pandemic, my students are trying their best with what they are given and thriving.

All scholars can learn, yet they need the materials to help them do so. No greater joy is there than to see your scholars fly as high as they can academically. That is what the scholars want and that is my wish and goal for them. With those challenges, my co-workers and I continue to educate and put a smile on faces that have minds full of life’s problems at the tender age of 10.

My Project

My students are eager to get back in to school learning full time after a challenging year last year. They have persevered and stepped up to the plate to be their best selves. As we return to learning, our classroom has no air-conditioning and the temperatures can get very high in September/October as well as May/June. I would love nothing more than to welcome them back to school with clean cool air so they can concentrate on learning. Especially as we will still be wearing masks as school begins.

An air conditioner leaves students to concentrate on their learning and not an uncomfortable learning environment.

My students will appreciate the opportunity to thrive in a comfortable learning environment with your help!
