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

This is my sixth year teaching sixth grade. My students are eager to learn new concepts and to do projects. This is their last year in elementary school before they move on to middle school. They deserve the best that can be offered to them in their learning environment.

After 17 years of working with students in Salinas, California, I want to be able to incorporate more technology into my lessons that will engage my students in learning.

We are a Title I, low income (classified 100% free lunch school) school in Salinas, California. Each year, I want to be able to offer more than the year before because our students deserve the best.

My Project

Our 6th grade students need school use reusable water bottles to drink from during the day. Due to Covid-19, the school drinking fountains are taped off for use, so our students need water bottles to refill at our refill water stations.

Reusable bottles would help keep plastic bottles out of our landfills as well as give our students a stylish bottle that can be used again and again.

We have a water bottle refilling station that would allow our students to refill their bottles throughout the day. Our students are active throughout the day and need to stay hydrated.
