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

I teach 27 very energetic and enthusiastic third-grade students. They don't have a lot materialistically, but they have a ton of heart, potential, and did I mention, energy. Their families and I try very hard to provide them with the best inside and outside of school.

My students always get so excited when they are able to be creative and use their own ideas.

They love to share what they know when they are exploring and eventually mastering something.

My Project

There seems to be a good chance that students will be learning from home this year, and I will be teaching from home. I am working to improve my virtual classroom into a welcoming space for students to be a part of online.

With a cart to hold my computer and poster paper to present, the students will get a home experience more similar to their experience they had in the classroom.

We often worked together to make posters and through live lessons, we will be able continue that with these supplies.
