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

Creators. Learners. Positive thinkers. Helpers. Friends. These were just a few of the fantastic words my students used to describe themselves. Every day I am astounded and humbled by the excitement, appreciation, and empathy my kids bring into our classroom.

School isn't just about learning how to read, write, or count for these children - it's an escape, a way to express themselves and to be heard.

Our school is located in a low-economic area and lost much needed Title I funds by 0.02% this year. Many of the students are English learners and some have already experience unimaginable hardships. My kids might not always have much in terms of school supplies or books, but despite the wide range of backgrounds my students bring to our room, they all share the same eagerness to learn.

My Project

Our classroom and school-wide focus this year is “STREAMing to Success” as we develop skills in Science, Technology, Reading/writing, Engineering, Art, and Math. While we have a solid foundation with many of these areas, our classroom is lacking much needed supplies to improve our critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative skills through engineering and mathematics.

With these tools, my students will begin each day with a positive, self-led learning experience improving thieir problem solving, critical thinking, and much needed social skills.

The bins will help the students keep all our math and engineering materials organized and easily accessible. By switching from traditional morning work to these hands-on, student-centered Morning Tubs, my students will look forward to coming to school each day. They will have a chance to play and grow, which has been shown to improve academic learning. With your kindness and generosity, we will have no problem “STREAMing to Success” this year.
