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

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning! We are full in-person instruction during the pandemic and although we have to wear face coverings for our safety, each student comes to class filled with joy and perseverance! My classroom consists of students with different learning accommodations/support. The method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly.

I incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met!

They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have such a great group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each day! Our school is a free public school, and the majority of our students come from low socioeconomic status. In addition, we are a Title I School which means that we provide free meal plans to support our families' needs. My students are determined and spontaneous! They come to class ready to learn with enthusiasm and ready to take upon academic challenges.

My Project

Hello, I'm a fifth grade teacher. I work for a school in California where our majority of students come from African American and Hispanic families. Our school is a free public school, and most of our students come from low socio economic status. In addition, we are a Title I School which means that we provide free meal plans to support our families needs. What makes my students special is that they come to class ready to learn with enthusiasm and eagerness even as we deal with the pandemic.

I strive to cultivate creativity within my students, the Cricut machine will provide a tool to allow students to explore their own ideas and future creative endeavors.

As my students and I prepare for a new school year, I would like to provide tools like the Cricut machine to encourage students to become innovators.

My students are energetic and eager to learn something new everyday. The machine will be used for multiple purposes and all students will be able to have the opportunity to bring their ideas alive! Please help us continue learning in campus and at home by donating to our classroom
