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 Project

Providing alternative seating options, such as floor cushions, will enhance the learning experience for my students. By offering a variety of seating choices, students can select the option that best suits their learning style and comfort needs. This flexibility will increase student engagement, focus, and comfort, resulting in improved learning outcomes.

Access to basic materials, including erasers, markers, notebooks, and pencils, is essential for student success.

These materials will provide students with the necessary tools to brainstorm, write, and collaborate effectively. Having readily available materials will eliminate barriers to learning and encourage students to participate in classroom activities actively. By keeping the classroom tidy, students can focus more easily on their learning. With clear organization, students will be able to locate and access learning materials efficiently, fostering independence and responsibility. Organizers will also help students develop organizational skills essential for academic success.

My goal as a first-year teacher is to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my students. By providing alternative seating, basic materials, and organizers, I aim to foster a positive and engaging classroom atmosphere that encourages active participation and collaboration. Empower students to take ownership of their learning by providing them with choices and resources.

My students are special because they bring a diverse range of experiences, perspectives, and talents to the classroom. They are eager to learn and are incredibly motivated to make the most of their educational opportunities. My students inspire me daily with enthusiasm, creativity, and perseverance. By providing them with the resources they need to thrive, we can unlock their full potential and empower them to achieve their academic and personal goals.

Bonito dia!

Ms. Diaz will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 22.
