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

In the middle of the valley, I want my students not to just climb mountains but move them. The students in our class come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and many of them and their families are English language learners. One hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Despite everything that one might consider a disadvantage, we try to instill hard work, we encourage them to dream big, and we teach kindness in order for them to overcome their challenges and be successful lifelong learners who will pay it forward.

We are a 5th-grade class with big hopes and dreams.

In their final year of elementary, our students are leaders on campus, role models and peer supporters. While still learning valuable content such as reading, writing, and math, students are learning soft skills such as proper handshaking, how to carry on a conversation and how to ask questions.

My Project

The day we go back to school is going to be epic! We want to be prepared and celebrate the students. We are asking for supplies to create at home packets for students to work at home. The folders and pencil pouches will help organize students’ work at home. These materials will make a difference in my students' learning because they will have the tools to learn at home when digital learning may not be available.

Creating an environment that is clean and new will make the students excited to return to school.

We are asking for classroom decorations such as bulletin board paper, paper fans and maps to give our classroom new life. One Friday, we sent the kids home for the weekend unaware that would be our last time together in the classroom for an indefinite period of time. I want to make sure when the kids do come back, it'll be a time to celebrate and enjoy the company of one another.
