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 classroom encompasses a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds, each student having a different but pretty limited life experiences.

My students are curious beings, waiting to dive deeper into their interests and passions.

However, many of them are lacking the adequate resources to explore the world outside of their own local neighborhoods. About 75% of the students in my school are economically disadvantaged which means that many of them come from a household with very limited income, and therefore very limited resources and opportunities. Many of them do not have the experiences needed in order to draw upon and apply to their learning, but they do have the desire.

My Project

Students learn in many different ways and from many different settings. This year I will be teaching those students whose families have chosen to remain in the virtual setting. This last year was hard for everyone, especially students due to limited social connections and opportunies to collaborate.

With these correspondence & celebration materials my students will be able to connect with their peers and teacher through a means other than just a computer screen.

I hope they will be able to improve their writing and handwriting abilities with the colorful paper and envelopes as I plan to use them for a pen pal project as well as communication with their friends. We will build a stronger classroom community with the birthday cards & stickers in addition to our online tools.

The adjustable desk and mat will help me as a teacher to deliver high energy, highly engaging lessons for the students with movement. This will hopefully encourage them to also get out of their beds and computer chairs to get the full educational experience they deserve!
