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 am a first year teacher and recent graduate of Texas Southern University. I am also an active member of ATPE working as a campus representative. I work in the Greater Southwest Houston area for Houston Independent School District. I am excited about my first year. The majority of my student population is Hispanic and African American. My school is a Title I school. My goal is to be sure that all my students have the supplies they will need this school year to be successful in all ways possible.

My Project

The requested easel and chart will help me and my students be prepared for the learning adventures they will have this year! As a first year teacher I want to be able to reach my students in all ways possible. That starts with me having my classroom supplied and being sure that I am also ready for them to arrive the 1st day. I am teaching all subjects this year so my year will be packed with many challenges but also rewarding tasks and adventures throughout the year. I'm excited to start this journey with all my students and can't wait to see all the beautiful faces this year! The easel will make whole class and small group discussion more mobile, allowing me to move about my classroom with ease. The literacy center chart will make changing out my groups easy and allow my students to assist me also.
