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 am extremely lucky to have my group of students! As the year has gone on, we've made plenty of memories and are growing academically and socially. My students are incredibly social, kind, and happy to be in school! They always contribute to class conversations and want to succeed. Their own motivation helps everyone learn and have a great school experience.

Covid-19 has impacted my students greatly over the past year and a half.

Their experience this year has been mainly in-person with one week online. As difficult as it's been, they've moved forward with a good attitude and eagerness to learn!

My Project

The past two years have been strange and difficult for everyone, but namely my students! Many are adjusting to being back in the classroom after an online experience. My goal is to provide engaging and creative activities that motivate my students to be at school!

One thing I've learned about my students is that they love to draw and are dreamers!

If you come into my classroom, there is always a student ready to color, sketch, paint, or doodle. I try and provide art supplies, however, resources have run scarce. This is why I need your help with giving students access to materials to stimulate the creative parts of their brains.

I also want to provide a diverse and accessible library. Graphic novels and magazines help my low readers practice their literacy while providing them engaging material appropriate for their age. My selections include fiction, historical fiction, and informational texts.

My class and I would be forever grateful for your generosity and help!
