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 school is a small public elementary school in the Bronx, NY. Our school is committed to providing all students with a well-rounded curriculum that engages students in hands-on, project-based learning as well as developing social skills and building character.
50% of our student population are from low-income families.
We work hard to ensure that economics doesn't get in the way of a quality education. Our students are eager to learn. They need a hand up not a hand out.
My Project
The beginning of the school year is filled with anticipation and excitement. It is important that when students enter their new 5th-grade classroom that they feel safe and welcomed. Having a new carpet, pillows, and comfy chairs will help students get the message that they are important, valued and accepted in this classroom community.
Creating a positive learning environment is the first step to making a huge impact on student learning.
Your environment shapes how you feel and how you feel is directly connected to your motivation, effort, and productivity. My goal is to create a positive place of learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
