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

As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students like to work together and learn from each other and love being able to express themselves in their own way.

Many of them are being raised in low-income households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status.

These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical.” From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

File size pouches and magnetic hooks have been a lifesaver in class in keeping students organized. They have been able to put all their supplies in there to keep them all in one place. Having individual supplies like scissors, glue, and pencil sharpeners have also helped in reducing the time wasted in class waiting for supplies to be available.

I love the whiteboard clipboards because they serve two purposes and are easy to store.

By having these basic materials for students they can focus on learning and not what they don't have. They are able to get to work and be efficient while doing it.
