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

P.S.49 is a school community full of eager students and driven teachers that dedicate their lives to closing the achievement gap. Being in the Mott Haven of the Bronx, most of our students get what they need from school- from breakfast, lunch, and school uniforms, to unconditional love and support from their teachers. Our school focuses on the whole child- part by part. We look to nurture them academically, socially, and emotionally. These students are deserving of so much, and are often times so deprived of things they need in order to succeed and have the education that they are so deserving of.

My Project

My scholars will have the opportunity to come to school everyday and enjoy it. Having their own school supplies without with stress from their families will help my them grow more independently and develop a positive attitude towards school. The whole idea of new crayons, dry erase markers, and scissors will help my scholars create, write, and illustrate wonderful masterpieces. They will be able to use an array of pencils to help support their fine motor and physical development. Creating a colorful, cozy, and print rich classroom will engage and motivate my kindergarten class to strive and reach their fullest learning potential academically, physically, and socially.
