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 highly motivated kids that come from low-income families. My students are energetic, creative, and full of questions. My students love to learn. Most of my students are at-risk students. In my classroom, we are building academic and social skills.

My students dream of becoming teachers, doctors, veterinarians, nurses, and productive citizens of the community.

My job is to help each student to reach their full potential. With your help, we can acquire the tools and skills to achieve those goals.

My Project

This laminator will help me to continue to enhance student achievement in the classroom. I want my classroom to be a safe place where my students can enjoy learning.

My classroom is in need of a laminator that will help me to keep my student materials for a long time.

The students will use the laminated materials for center where they can use the materials with out worrying about damaging their materials. This project will allow me to create a classroom where my students will have real learning experiences. The students will have the flexibility to use different materials to work with in their center activities.

I believe that with this project, my students' achievement will increase in my classroom.
