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 lucky enough to be the teacher of 21 enthusiastic fourth-graders! My students love hands on learning and working together in collaborative groups. They are always up for a challenge and enjoy learning new things.

My class consists of artists, readers, writers, athletes, performers, mathematicians and historians.

My students are special because they work hard each and every day and are successful in their own way. They encourage, support and cheer each other on. We are a true team!

My Project

The materials included in this project will allow my students to put on a fabulous poetry performance. Your generous donation will provide my class with a set of black berets, a wireless microphone and background lighting to create a dramatic backdrop for our annual fourth-grade Poetry Jam. Students work very hard during our poetry writing unit to craft authentic poetry anthologies on a topic that is important to them. Topics range from baseball, to horses, to family and pets. What a great way to celebrate student writing by providing them with the props necessary to make their poetry come alive!
