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 teach 40 amazing and academically gifted elementary scholars. They enter my classroom with big smiles, are happy, and are ready to learn. Many students that come to our school do not speak English. We also have exceptional students included in our class.

We are a Global Magnet, Title I school serving 65% of low-income families who speak limited English.

We offer Mandarin Chinese and Spanish to our students. Our school also serves families whose parents work multiple jobs to help make ends meet.

My Project

I want to keep my students challenged even during the holiday. I would like to add books and games to challenge students' thinking. The students can use the books during traveling over the holidays. The highlighters will be used to highlight important details in the book. The Christmas bags and candy canes will be given to each student to provide a motivational gift for each student.

Each student will receive a gift bag for Christmas.

Mask will be used to help keep students and staff safe from COVID.

Thanks in advance for supporting my project.
