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

Most of my students come from low income families right outside of Dallas, TX.

They are a group of amazing kids who I just want to give the best classroom experience possible.

All of the students come from different backgrounds and ethnicities. It is an amazing combination of cultures!

For the past two years we have held fundraisers to raise money to make hygiene packs for the homeless. My students even though some go without, they are always willing to help their community in any way.

They also used their creative juices to create Children's Books using a big idea or theme from a novel that was read.

My students are big thinkers and want to create a better future for themselves and others.

My Project

All of these materials will be in the hands of the students. From them creating their interactive notebooks using the colored paper and sharpie markers to creating blackout poetry. Using the markers to create their own children's books and completing book project posters.

Students never having to worry if they will be able to bring paper or pencils to class just to make sure they get a good grade.

Using whiteboards to compete in Jeopardy and sentence check activities. Everything down to the post-its are things that will be used in the classroom during lessons. It gives all students a chance to be successful without parents having to go out and by new supplies all the time.
