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 Project

I love my students’ curiosity and their passion for learning. They are constantly asking thoughtful questions and diving deep into understanding the meanings of words and how they connect to the world around them. Their eagerness to grow, coupled with their dedication to their classroom roles, makes them a joy to teach every day.

This project will provide my students with essential tools to enhance their learning and keep our classroom organized and functional.

Here’s how each resource will make an impact:

Dictionaries and Spanish-to-English Dictionaries: These will empower students to explore new vocabulary, improve their language skills, and gain confidence in their communication, especially my English Language Learners who will benefit greatly from the bilingual support.

Scissors and Construction Paper: These tools will allow students to engage in creative projects that foster hands-on learning and critical thinking.

Material Organizer: With this organizer, our classroom can stay clutter-free, ensuring students can easily access paper, scissors, glue sticks, markers, and crayons. This will not only streamline classroom routines but also teach students the value of maintaining a tidy and efficient workspace.

Social-Emotional Learning Card Game: This conversation starter game will help students build meaningful connections with their peers, practice empathy, and develop important life skills like teamwork and self-expression.

These materials will equip my students to learn, create, and collaborate more effectively. By fostering a well-organized and resourceful classroom, I aim to nurture their growth and help them fulfill their roles as enthusiastic learners and responsible classroom citizens.
