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

My students are one of the most hard-working individuals I have ever come across. Although my students aren't comic superheroes, they are real life superheroes in my classroom! These determined individuals come from a low socioeconomic background where 100% receive free breakfast and lunch each day. My site school, where I work, has a high rate of transiency. My students face life struggles, but push through these daily challenges. We celebrate our growth inside and outside of the classroom. I tell my students, our learning doesn't stop when you leave my four walls. Celebrations show that the student is appreciated and they are building the foundation of the rest of their lives.

Feeling safe, encouraged, and building my students up for success in the classroom is how these materials will help them strive to be their best every single day.

Having these supplies for this project will make my classroom feel comfortable, safe, and gives my students a step ahead to be successful. I plan to have my students utilize the white board to help show their thinking. It will be able to show me that they are accountable for their learning. Living in Arizona it is no surprise that my students get warm in the classroom. A circulating fan will help them stay comfortable while learning and doing their work. Fun and inviting decor such as my superhero themed decorations and my lights, will set a positive ambience for them to be successful in the classroom.

With your help and support, we can continue to promote positive learning with a safe, fun space where the students are successful. Thank you for taking the time and showing interest in helping out our classroom.
