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 feel like my students are some of the best students and we teach them to become our future. Some of my students lost their homes and many items due to Hurricane Harvey. Considering all of these effects, they still come to my class eager to learn. My students are hard workers, I have students who range from being in the United States their whole lives, and I have students who also have just arrived from El Salvador, Mexico, or Honduras.

My students are learning in my class to have goals in life, have ambitions, as well as learn and become educated of their Science content.

My Project

Every year my Gifted and Talented students need to complete end of the year projects, which will be placed on demonstration, to show all the hardwork they have completed. Students love to incorporate technology into their projects, by creating a program, or creating a presentation. The Macbook and printer will give students a chance to be able to work on their projects after school, without feeling penalized for not having the proper resources.

Students who are willing to go above and beyond, shouldn't be penalized for not having the proper resources.

I want all my students knowing that we are there to support in any type of way. So with these resources, they will be able to research and create their presentations.
