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

Our Kindergarten students are wonderful and caring children with a bright educational future ahead of them. I want to provide my new students with the right start they need and deserve when they begin their educational careers. My goal is to make their first school experience a tremendous one.

Our students are motivated to learn, play, and achieve success!

Our school has made tremendous gains over the past 12 years, moving from one of the lowest-performing schools in the area to achieving the honor of being named a Distinguished School! We are an example of a community of students, teachers, parents, and staff, all working together for academic achievement. Our hope is that many of our students will be the first generation in their family to go to college!

My Project

The beginning of each school year is an exciting time for the teachers and the students.

It is important to start the year off right in order to make a fun learning environment for the students.

The students are going to display their writing in the Write and Wipe Pockets on a bulletin board. These will be great because they are reusable each year. The extra Pockets and the white board markers will be used during center time. We can easily slip in a worksheet or activity and the students can do the activity and wipe it clean for the next group. We are going to save so much paper! I'm going to use the new center signs to clearly label our classroom centers. Our room is going to look so fresh and ready to learn. My students are going to be so excited to start the year!
