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 amazing! Most of them have been at the school since kindergarten, and our school is special because we can really develop a close relationship with each individual student as they grow up.

As a school with a bilingual program, students are immersed in rigorous instruction in both English and Spanish!

There are numerous benefits to being bilingual and students work very hard to access the curriculum despite it being a challenge. We have both Spanish-dominant and English-dominant speakers, which means that 100% of our students are second language learners!

My Project

My students are gearing up for winter and it is important to be prepared. We want to make sure that everyone stays healthy and safe in the cold!

Unfortunately, not all of my students' families are able to supply the necessary items needed to stay warm.

My co-teacher and I would like to provide students with the items necessary to stay warm this winter. We are working toward creating care packages for each student so that they can power through the winter. Staying healthy and warm will also help them feel safe and secure in class! We know that students and families will greatly appreciate this.
