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 bilingual kindergarten teacher that works in an economically disadvantaged and Title 1 school. My students are eager to learn in both languages English and Spanish at the same time but unfortunately their parents are not bilingual to help them. My students work very hard every day and they are proud of every thing they learn. We talk very often about their future and what they want to become, they picture themselves as future doctors, lawyers, nurses, astronauts, etc., and most importantly they always say that they want to help people.

My Project

Having a printer, a pencil sharpener, and an easel in my classroom will help me to display every lesson in a much better way. The printer is very necessary in my room because we use a lot of copies, we also do projects that require to make the material a the moment that we are working. Having an easel with stand will allow me to move it to the point of the classroom which is more useful for the students.

My students are eager to learn and all of them work everyday very hard with the resources that we have already, but having all the material required will make it much easier and fun for them to learn.

Finally, all the material required will help to many other classes in the future.
