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

My students are special education, general education, and English as a Second Language students. They are inner city kids that come from homes that are very different than suburban kids.

In my school, we have twenty-six different countries represented.

Over half of our student population are ESL (English as a Second Language) students. We are currently a Level 4 school. Our students are hard-working and we are working an extended day to push them to become true lifelong learners.

My students come from homes where poverty is the norm. Sometimes they have no clue where their next meal will be from, or if mom/dad will be there when they get home from school.

My classroom is full of many different learners. I love going to work every day because, as an educator, I am challenged in many different ways. I feel like I am truly making a difference in these students' lives.

My Project

These children can build together - foster teambuilding and bridge building at the same time. I can Transform my classroom with engaging projects that make hands-on learning, creating and experimenting an everyday event. This will give students the gift they will remember for years. Students simply stack wood planks to create buildings, bridges, sculptures, physics challenges, STEM lessons and so much more. It’s the ideal activity to help kids gain an understanding of balance and proportion, as well as an interest in architecture, building, and design. This set will make an immediate and noticeable impact on your students in many ways.
