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

I learn and grow from my students on a day to day basis. They overcome and bounce back from situations that some could never even imagine. My students, as well as all the students in our school, come from lower income families. 95% of the students enrolled in our school qualify for free school lunches.

My goal for my classroom is to create a safe space for my students so they can learn.

I know their lives are complicated and many times they come to school with things on their minds and can't focus. My job as their teacher is not only to teach them the standards, but also to the positive role model that they need in their lives.

My Project

Science and Engineering have always been a passion of mine that I want to bring into my classroom. Most of my students, and the students at my school site, don't have the opportunity to engage in STEM activities at all. That is something that I am adamant to change for my students and the start is in my own classroom.

My goal for my students is to partake in STEM learning centers every single day.

I want them to be exposed to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities and harness the curiosity and wonder that they may have about the world around them. I want to spark an interest within them, so that may go along and continue to learn and grow their passion in those content areas.
