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 a melting pot of happiness! My class consists of 14 of the most loving, most hard-working little people one can ever meet. Their attitude, especially during these trying times, and their desire to learn makes any teachers' job worthwhile.

These students have become a family, regardless of their distance, with each one willing to help the other.

Seeing their positivity makes me strive to become a better teacher each day.

My Project

Quarantine truly awakened the plant lover in me. I would love to share this newfound love with all of my students. I want to teach them the importance of caring for nature. I want them to learn about how things grow. Hopefully, this will become a project that will transcend the limits of our classroom. Hopefully, they will learn the importance of having a nurturing and caring attitude in every aspect of life, and all the benefits that come with it. I want them to develop a love for nature!
