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

Our school is located on the lower socioeconomic side of town. About 99% of our students are low income and, unfortunately, we do have a couple that are labeled as homeless. Even though these students face these hardships daily, they are also very hardworking children with many dreams and goals. They see great value in education and give no excuses when asked to give it their all and work toward their goals.

My students have a lot of potential to be the great leaders of tomorrow.

Some of them may not even have their parents' support because of harsh situations, but they do come in every day to school, ready to learn and be a better person every day. They come into the classroom and try very hard to leave their issues behind and start off the day in a positive way, ready to learn and to get closer to reaching their dreams!

My Project

My students just received a Cricut machine, so now we need the accessories to get started on projects. Having this type of technology in class will help expand the students' creativity and imagination.

We will step aside from a screen and have them bring out their inner engineers and designers to bring brilliant projects into reality.

Numerous projects will be able to be completed in class, since they have a low amount of resources at home. Creating their own creative projects with their peers will also create fun memories that will last a lifetime!
