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 walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I greet them daily with a good morning and a hug. I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.

My scholars are bright and energetic!

I would like to make my classroom as inviting and warm as possible. This is where we spend each day, so it is our second home. Our school is one big family. We look out for each other and are always willing to give a helping hand. In our class, it's okay to make mistakes, as long as we learn from them. We say please and thank you and always remember to be polite. We can't control what others say but how we react to it. It is okay to get upset, but not okay to hurt others. We give respect to earn respect and we treat others how we want to be treated. I am very fortunate because I am able to go to work every day to students who are my world.

My Project

My students love to read! That is the greatest gift that I could give my students because it was given to me when I was in school. By providing these resources for my students, I will be able to give them more books to read.

Our Class has made their AR goal all year!

In order to make their goal, students need access to lots and lots of books. We have 27 days of school left and we need to make our AR goal for the 4th nine weeks. These books will help my students make their AR goal and give them the sense of accomplishment.

This will also help students continue to make reachable goals when they leave my class and go to third grade. My students can't wait to get their hands on these books! Please Help!
