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

I am a teacher at a Title I School in Tempe, Arizona. Our school has a diverse and transient population, with students from all over the globe. Many of my students speak another language other than English, and reading can be challenging for them. The culture of our school is positive, loving, and accepting. It is a place where students feel safe and supported.

I have true future world leaders in my classroom.

My diverse group of third graders are extremely special in the fact that they are more than just accepting of one another...They ask questions, learn, celebrate each others' differences. Despite whatever their situation at home may be, they come into school with big smiles on their faces, ready to make the most of every day in the classroom. From the minute they walk through the classroom door, I focus on the potential and growth of each individual student. My goal is for each of my students to leave my class confident that they can be and accomplish anything they set their minds to.

I began my career as a teacher the year COVID shut our school down. This year is my third year teaching, as well as my first full year teaching in person. Throughout the year, I realized that there were many resources I am still lacking as a new teacher that would make my classroom an even more enjoyable learning environment for my kiddos. Because of the pandemic, my students have had less time to become readers, as well as organized students. These items will help my students become responsible and organized. The books will help them to become more excited to read. The flexible seating and prizes will help them feel more comfortable back at school and make their days more enjoyable and fun!
