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 think of my young scholars as a wonderful piece of clay with endless possibilities! As a Dual Language Kindergarten teacher, I am able to begin molding and creating a solid foundation for them to be future leaders of the 21st Century.

My young scholars are amazing individuals that surprise me every day.

They already demonstrate determination and willingness to be successful. They are dreamers, planners, thinkers, and doers! For the past four years I have observed, analyzed, and celebrated their growth. I am literally watching them become scientist, engineers, mathematicians, doctors, teachers, artist, and so much more!

They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. They are at the core of my inspiration!

My Project

In kindergarten, the carpet area is where a lot of the magic happens! We start our day at carpet for our morning rituals, and often revisit this area for learning routines and other daily activities throughout the day.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Please help me create an inviting and motivating area for students to choose a special place of their own to sit upon. This new carpet will help us continue to soar into our future learning!
