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

My students are fabulous fourth graders! They are very smart, enthusiastic and eager to learn. They continue to make steady progress during our new normal school year. Their persistence to becoming better fourth-graders truly amazes me. Despite the struggles that they might be facing whether it is personal or environmental, they continue to keep striving and growing. My students love to build upon their ideas individually, with their partners/peers, and with the entire class.

Our school is an inner-city school in a major urban area where our community's life expectancy is about 10 years less compared to our surrounding communities.

My students are in a high-risk area, where the majority qualify for free or reduced lunch. I was fortunate to have such an amazing group of students this year, they truly remind me of my passion for teaching and education.

My Project

We often find ourselves limiting the uses of our resources as there are not enough resources available for all of our students at our school. My students use their white boards throughout the day every day, so they've been using up their dry-erase markers, therefore, we have depleted our supply of dry-erase markers to provide them. Our classroom relies heavily on using our white boards.

Since we use our white boards everyday, it would benefit us greatly to have white board markers and erasers.

My students utilizes their board to further their love of learning, their boards give them a space to get out their thoughts whether it is for creative thinking reasons or for analytical thinking reasons. They've shown me how active and engaged they are in their learning and I've seen how much they have been academically growing, I would love for them to continue developing their educational journey this year.
