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

My students are all unique and are a bunch of sweethearts. I love them. Sometimes they call me mom. My class loves to ask questions and research the unknown. They love reading, math, and science. They also love technology. They enjoy assignments online and we interact through presentations. They love the class Weebly we created. I love my job and enjoy teaching them and making them think outside the box. There are not enough hours in the day to get it all and quench their thirst for knowledge.

My Project

UNICEF's Kid Power program will get my students to plan routines with physical activity while learning. This program will challenge them to better themselves and helping others starting with our community.

If we believe we can achieve.

Its about making a healthy lifestyle for the rest of our lives.

Every step we take will be to help ourselves and communities around the world. We will make a difference and pay it forward.

A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.

We will live a happy, healthy life by changing our nutrition and empowering our future self today.
