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 Project

Each day I am greeted by 24 smiling faces who constantly remind me why I became a teacher. Simply put, I became a teacher because I wanted to positively impact the lives of children! I feel so blessed to work with fun-loving children who come to school eager to learn and excited about what the day holds for them. Although 73% percent of our children qualify for free or reduced lunch, I love the magic of kindergarten and first grade because all of the children, regardless of gender, race, and socio-economic status, see themselves as authors, mathematicians, teachers, learners, and scientists. With each new skill and milestone, they are developing increasing confidence. One visit to our room and you will find children replacing, "I can't" with "If I work at it, I can!"

I love teaching first grade because you have an opportunity to watch children grow as readers and writers throughout the year.

There is nothing more rewarding than watching the excitement on a child's face when they read a book or write independently for the very first time. Each year I work very hard to ensure that my students have the tools they need to live literate lives. By equipping our writing center with the necessary organizational materials and writing tools such as writing journals, crayons, and posters they can refer to, we will be able to create an environment that promotes creativity and productivity. These resources along with the paper storage organizer will lay the foundation for an organized, engaging, and accessible space where young authors can flourish!
