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 2nd-grade classroom is full of wonderfully eager young learners excited to learn each and every day. Our school is a low-income Title I school with a predominantly Hispanic demographic (98%).

Many of my students come from families who have either recently arrived in the United States from another country or speak little to no English.

My students know how passionate I am about teaching each subject while integrating technology and innovation. I strive to amaze and engage them each day.

My Project

One of the new protocols in place at our school is that students are required to bring a water bottle to school each day. This is due to our community water fountains being shut off in an effort to stop spread COVID-19. Unfortunately, many of my little ones come each day having forgotten their water bottles and spend the entire day thirsty. With this mini classroom fridge I will be able to stock up on water bottles, juice and other snacks to provide for those in need. It is an absolute necessity for children to stay hydrated through out the long school day. Providing our class with this amazing gift will keep my student's focused, hydrated and happy through out the day.
