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 work at a low income/high poverty school. My classroom is the home of amazing students who are working at all ability levels. My students are grateful for the opportunities they are given, and we work hard together to provide a rich, healthy, safe, and fulfilling experience that will lead to success inside and outside the classroom.

My students are eager and curious learners, who enjoy getting their hands dirty as well as becoming more experienced with technology.

There is nothing better than seeing my students' faces light up every time I introduce something new to learn and discover from. My goal is to instill into each child the excitement and love of learning lessons—inside and outside the classroom—as these students are the future.

My Project

These fun and interactive materials will give my students a positive creative outlet while learning current and/or new skills. The use of the game buzzers in the classroom will provide all of my students an amazing opportunity to actively participate in class in valuable discussion/discourse. They can be easily integrated into the classroom and used to spur conversation in every subject. The same can be said for the use of the wipe-and-answer white boards!

The whiteboards will be used almost daily in the classroom and used for vocabulary, language and phonics, all the way to math, social studies, and science.

Students being able to have their own board to use not only gives each one a level of independence and confidence in their own learning, but it will give me the chance to observe/evaluate what each student is doing.

The foam dice, notebooks, and the sticky chart paper will continue to be in used by me and my students in order to provide another visual tool in their learning. By donating to this project, you will not only help improve and increase student focus, but you will ultimately help in increasing their academic achievement.
