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 Project

Trenton, New Jersey is (and this is amazing!) a sanctuary city. Students from nations all over the world immigrate to Trenton with their families. The city, although economically poor in many areas, is rich in cultures and heritage from all corners of the world. We have a growing population of Hispanic immigrants, most speaking their native language Spanish.

My goal this year is to serve my students best by using this computer to organize our Climate and Culture space to both communicate with them and relate to them in a more interpersonal way.

I want to make their learning experience in my room as fun, inviting, and easy as possible. Being able to provide for them in using this desktop or organize their needs and to help them through difficult times or simply just to show them that I am making an effort to learn will help create this environment.

If you help support this project you will support both my personal and professional development as I use these materials to develop SEL programs in addition to supporting the well-being of my students. Representation for these students matters, especially for those who are just arriving in our country. We need to welcome them as teachers and embrace them as they embrace us.
