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 classroom is going for the gold medal this school year! I am implementing an Olympic theme in my classroom in order to generate students who are positive, dedicated, and ambitious. Many of the students in our surrounding community do not have a healthy self-perception. My goal is for my students to learn self-awareness, confidence, vulnerability, and teamwork. This cannot be accomplished without the basic resources of a classroom, such as pencils for creative writing, erasers for the learning curves, ink for engaging activities, and library shelves for my avid readers.

"Having the ambition of becoming an Olympic champion is a whole different ambition from wanting to be the greatest" - Daley Thompson, 1980 and 1984 Decathlete Gold Medalist.

I want my students to be reaching their individual goals to become their own Olympic Champion! These supplies will aid my lessons in reading, math, and social skills. I am always looking for creative ways to adapt and accommodate for my students' special learning needs. Please help my students become Olympic Champions this year with these necessary school supplies!
