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

The children who walk through our school doors each day are not just students; they are super readers, powerful writers and mathematicians in the making. I work in the Bronx area. It is a new school that doesn’t have much funding. The majority of our families live below the poverty line, are immigrants, with their own difficult situations and obstacles to over come. That however, doesn’t change the fact that our new neighborhood school isn’t just a school. It’s a community where we help each other instill good citizen behaviors in our students and give them a love for learning.

Teachers give up time, stay late and provide parents with workshops in literacy and math that are game based to make it fun children to learn.

We are always there for our families and students. We have high expectation for them. We want our students to learn in a fun, positive and exciting environment. We want our school to be a place where you WANT to be, not have to be. My students are eager to learn and succeed. I hope to keep that love for learning burning and create life long learners.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my students learning and improve their school lives in several different ways. Students will be able to learn how to take turns and follow directions to play the game correctly. They will be able to practice and reinforce concepts learned in a fun and engaging ways.

It is important for students to have a life long love for learning.

I personally feel that if students play games to enrich their learning they will like school more. The goal is for students to want to come to school and learn new concepts so they can apply it to the games or everyday life.
