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

As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, my goal is to keep them motivated to learn every single day.

My students are creative, intelligent, and capable of learning every single day!

Many of them are being raised in transitional housing and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. By doing this in a creative and positive way with engaging materials, I am hopeful my students will reach their academic success!

Since my students have special needs, learning can be difficult, especially in math and ELA. We often need to print out additional materials from our computers, including but not limited to supplemental activities, flash cards, home to school connection activities, and so much more. Often it is difficult to obtain enough paper to keep up with what is necessary to send home. The printing paper, markers, and erasers will all assist my students when additional assignments and/or extra help for students and parents are sent home.
