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

I teach in a small, cozy neighborhood elementary school in Virginia. The children in my building are lively and great kids. They appreciate and evolve from positive but firm motivation and are very bright when focused and interested. We were named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2006. Our school was renamed in June of 2018.

I love teaching grades Pre-K through first because kids at these stages are so enthusiastic and happy to learn!

I feed off of their enthusiasm, and it makes me want to provide them with even more innovative learning experiences!

My Project

I am happy--and wary--about the return to in-person teaching. I have been thinking about all I need to do to get my kids excited and on grade level and the ideas have been forming! I will have A LOT of work to do in September.

I am asking for ELA and math puzzles, games, manipulatives, and workbooks.

These items are going to help them gain on-level skills quicker and in a fun manner. I am also asking for dry erase markers, a magnetic calendar, and timers to use in class to keep track of activities, trips, and meetings.

Thank you for helping me teach my kids!
