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 the honor and pleasure of being able to teach and live in the community where my students reside. My students are from low-income families that rely on the school for food and sometimes clothing for survival. I try to bridge that gap. My students mean the world to me, all 12 of them.
I teach self-contained for grades 2 and 3.
Most of my students are boys. More times than not, my students are labeled and pushed aside which is unfair because they are so smart and unique. I tell them to love being who they are. It is okay to be different. Everyone doesn’t learn the same way and that their superpowers are created just for them. That’s what makes them who they are.
In our school community, we teach our students to be lifelong learners who demonstrate grit and take academic risks in pursuit of excellence in everything that they do. My students are courageous risk takers and lifelong learners who can achieve anything they set their eyes upon, one "superpower" at a time.
My Project
Students work best when their learning environment is created for them to learn. I created a classroom environment that is vibrant and colorful but safe from clutter. As teachers we know the importance of organization and the need for students to learn such skills.
I work with special needs students who need a learning environment that is free of clutter.
In class, we need to have lots of visuals, however my space is very limited.
With your help, my students will be able to learn how to be organized and have a safe and clutter-free classroom that they can enjoy. Happy learning and thank you for your support!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
