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

My students will be my first group ever in teaching. The school is a community school and all the students are from the area around the school. The school has a humble heart but since it's in an area of low-income many students are left without knowing of what advancement they can have in technology and learning put together.

I want to be one of the first teachers to make them feel like even coming from a low-income area it doesn't mean that they need to experience a low budget education.

As a first-year​ teacher, I am limited on my own budget to get the job done but I know I will give it my all to help my students and make them feel like someone out there actually cares for their learning.

My Project

These materials will help my students maintain and keep up with their books. They can know that their books are protected and are always near them while being easy to carry multiple books. This can help them be more motivated to read when their books are always around them. This can also help them keep their books safe and clean.

Book Bags will be their main access to their books during a time like independent reading, waiting in line for the restroom, and in other downtimes.

Students are learning to take ownership of​ their reading and finding how to time manage and handle their books.
