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 have 25 first grade students this school year who are full of energy and, most importantly, eager to learn. They love to read and learn many subjects. They enjoy their classroom because it is full of fun activities and comfortable.

Students learn multiple subjects throughout the day including physical education indoors and outdoors.

They love reading and doing science experiments. They are very eager to learn every day and are learning to be the best that they can be. They love their classroom and want to learn something new every single day!

My Project

I am going to teach a new grade level this upcoming school year. I will be teaching Kindergarten with more than half of the population leaning English as a second language. I am limited on supplies that I am going to use in my classroom. This supplies will benefit my scholars throughout the school year and will help me with instruction and classroom management. Teaching a new grade level will be rocky at first but with these supplies I am sure enough going to begin planning and setting up the classroom so that these scholars will learn in an environment full of love and education!
