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 students who come from all kinds of backgrounds. They range anywhere from grade levels behind in their education to achieving far above grade level.

They come from troubled and unsafe neighborhoods.

Whatever their backgrounds, they still find the motivation to come to school every day because they know education is the key to their futures. Whether they choose to go to college or a trade school, I will help them get there.

I want them to reach those expectations that I have for them and they have set for themselves.

My Project

My students have a tough time staying organized and coming to school with the necessary materials. I already have pocket charts for each of my classes (math, science, and music). I plan on placing pencils in these pocket charts for each of my classes. These pencils are not to leave the room but will always be there to use when needed. When you have pencils, you must have a pencil sharpener. Manual ones just don't cut it. They need a good electric pencil sharpener. Hopefully, not only will the students stay organized, but we will not lose as much instruction time trying to find materials necessary for the day.
