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 teach at a Title I school where the majority of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and go home to non-English speaking families. Some of our students are the only English speaking people in their families.

Our school has students who are homeless.

We have many students who live at the shelter for abused and battered women and children. Many other students are living with two or three families in small apartments because they are homeless.

I make it my goal every year to supply my students with the supplies they need and hands-on experiences that they wouldn't get elsewhere. It’s very easy to tie a project or activity into the standards the kids are supposed to be learning. By getting our hands on what we’re learning, we learn even more. I love it when my students finish an activity and say what a great time they had and how much they learned. Our students are very bright and deserve every opportunity they get.

My Project

When you do your job you get paid. I teach my students this on a daily basis. When you work hard, you receive a good education that will take you to amazing places. Like most nine and ten year olds, my students need instant gratification. I really enjoy rewarding students who try hard on a daily basis. My kids are really hard workers and a little positive motivation really gets them going. We have contests to see who knows the most multiplication facts, who can solve a certain math problem correctly, who can complete the most iReady lessons etc..... and I would love to reward them with treasure box prizes when they do! With hard work students math, reading, and writing will all improve and they’ll be ready for fifth grade!
