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 the most appreciative, sensitive, caring students ever. They come from all walks of life and from every kind of family imaginable. I am especially lucky because I get to work with the students who need a little extra attention in their lives.

These kids make it to school every day happy to be in a safe environment where they know they are receiving tender intellectual care.

When I go to pick up my students from their classrooms, they are excited to come and when our time to work together is over they will often say, "All ready?" For many of these students school is the one constant in their lives they can count on and I feel so fortunate to be a part of their lives.

My Project

Very few of the students I work with have books at home. Rarely do they have a book they can call their own. They do check out books from our school library but the books are kept here at the school due to loss. I even had a student say, "I can't take a book home because I am too afraid it will get lost or ruined." The books that I will give to students will be a reward for hard work. Students will receive a book when they have consistently completed homework reading activities.
