it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students
My students exhibit eagerness to learn on a daily basis. Despite their economic backgrounds, they come to school with the expectation of receiving the best education.
The love and care they show towards one another brings a smile to my face daily.
Although I teach in an inclusion classroom, my students create a welcoming classroom environment and are excited to attend school. They lift one another up and treat each other like family. They know what it means to be a community.
My Project
My class will participate in New York City Ballet’s school residency program, The Nutcracker Project. This program is offered to a select group of New York City public school 3rd and 4th grade classes in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Art and Special Projects.
My class will explore a theme from The Nutcracker and write their own class poem inspired by the story and will transform their written words to movement.
The Nutcracker Project residency program is designed to promote individual and group artistic expression inspired by the choreography, music, and themes found in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.
