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

Despite living in the city's second densest neighborhood, my students come to school with smiles on their faces ready to get down to the business of creating, reading, writing, and problem solving.

My students are eager to learn and motivated to make the world a better place.

They are truly a special group that works collaboratively and independently to meet their academic and personal goals. They aren't scared of challenges and they know the meaning of "productive struggle." Watch out world!

My Project

As we continue teaching and learning from home we are all adjusting and making the most of our current situation. I am constantly amazed at what my 1st graders are able to do, even with the limited resources they have at home. However, I have noticed it's the little things that make our days run smoothly.

Basic materials like whiteboards and dry erase markers are essential in our class every day!

We use them constantly and this daily use has taken it's toll on the original materials I gave them. I have also noticed that many of them have no "organizational system" to keep their materials safe and ready to go. Pencil boxes seem like a great way to keep their materials in one place.

My students and I are optimistic about our year and appreciate your support in helping us do our very best wherever that may be.
