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 Project

How my class will be out of this world?

First of all, this will be my first experience as a teacher in the USA.

My materials will provide room for imagination, critical thinking skills, values, and many other qualities for the new generation.

The books allow them to learn about themselves, improve their comprehension, and apply those topics to their social system. The materials will always be available for my students as a part of the learning process, because of all them matter to me.

Furthermore, as a teacher, my goal is to engage the students through imagination and creativity to a new level of learning. In addition, to set for great human beings who have a greater purpose in their lives and our society. Also, to help improve our education system for them and the next generations to come, ensuring a meaningful learning experience.

Summing up, when my students enter their new classroom, they will feel love, respect, and admiration. They are special human beings because children are the joy of this world. Nurturing, teaching, and providing for them is what makes us educators so special. Finally, with your help, I can provide them with an experience out of this world.
