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

I have been blessed to teach at this school and I am starting year 25.

My school is a wonderful place to be.

Students feel safe and loved when they walk through the doors. Many of them come for breakfast and stay until the after school program ends at 5:30 pm. It is their home away from home. My students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and often live in one apartment with 2-3 families.

Ninety percent of my students are English language learners (ELLs). Often the only meals they receive are the ones that they get at school. I have a huge heart for the people of this community. As the years have passed by I have received visits from former students who are now going to college and a few who have even had the privilege of graduating from college! It fills my heart with joy and I know they will fill your heart too!

My Project

My class of kindergarteners are a very creative bunch. They love to create things with their little hands. The only problem is, we don’t always have the materials we need to make certain things. We do weekly projects and we have to improvise a lot. It would be nice to have all the materials we need to make the best projects possible for our classroom!

Enhancing creativity is the key!

With these new watercolors and oil pastels my students will be more engaged and able to show more creativity because they will be able to create more colorful projects.

The materials I selected will help enhance the projects my students create weekly. Creating these projects with a variety of colors will make them so much better. All we need to make these projects special is vibrant colors of oil pastels and watercolors.
