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 am a teacher in a low-income and high-poverty school district. Our school is located in the Bronx. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. My students are eager to learn, but we do not have all of the materials for them to succeed. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

I may not be able to control their home lives, but I can certainly control their experiences during the school day.

From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence. I want to be able to provide my students with all of the resources necessary to becoming active, life-long learners!

My Project

My students love exploring in the classroom during our free time centers. In order for them to gain more phonic skills, the leap frog magnetic alphabet will be a great addition for our magnetic board. My students will be able to independently work on their phonic skills while being able to self check their answers.

We have been working hard to gain a love for literacy in the classroom.

What better way to gain a love than to incorporate books with more features. The Noisy first books will help my students become more engaged with reading and the fisher price think and learn will incorporate those newly learning facts and animals noises during free choice center time.
