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

Hi! Thank you so much for looking to do some good in the world by giving of your resources to the future leaders of our nation: our CHILDREN! My students are 28 amazing, kind, smart, and spunky kids. They have a knack for thinking outside of the box, and are all around great problem solvers and leaders.

My amazing students come from a variety of family compositions and overcome many social hurdles, such as food insecurity, and homelessness.

My students typically come from low-income homes where typically grandparents are the primary care-givers or the sole care givers.

My Project

Our kids are over-stimulated! Help me build a calm, inviting learning environment where students can focus with soft surfaces such as a rug and lamp.

I imagine my classroom as place where they can let out a sigh of relief; a tranquil place, full of love, compassion and kindness for not only each other but also nature.

I imagine a classroom where students feel comfortable to curl up with their favorite book on our soft, new rug lit by a soft glow of paper lamps. I imagine a classroom that is clean and organized. I imagine a classroom that will stimulate them as problem solvers.
