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 two sixth-grade language arts and United States history classes are part of a diverse and vibrant school community. We are a small school of choice located in the beautiful city of Coral Gables, FL. Like the size of the school, the staff is small but mighty. I could be biased, but I believe you could not find a group of more dedicated professionals who are committed to providing students with stellar, well-rounded educational experiences. In addition to our staff, our parent and community stakeholders consistently work to maintain an authentic partnership with the school that is both supportive and collaborative in nature.

Within the beautiful school community, I have the privilege of working with groups of students that are dynamic, curious and wonderfully unique.

They challenge me as a teacher and compel me to seek out educational opportunities that will fuel their zeal to learn and achieve at the highest levels. I welcome the challenge and constantly seek out opportunities and resources that will assist me in providing optimal learning experiences.

My Project

The purpose of my project is to purchase books and seating to add to our cherished classroom library. This project will contribute to my intention to provide a bountiful, visually appealing, and cozy classroom library where students can sit and enjoy a wonderful book.

Your donation will provide the books and seating needed to accomplish the goal of supporting students' development as proficient readers, writers, and thinkers through the expansion of one of the most important areas of our classroom community, our classroom library.

Ultimately, I want students to develop an inextinguishable love of learning. Providing students with a classroom library that contains high-quality, independent reading materials held within a beautiful and functional space contributes to their development as lifelong learners. The selected books and seating help bring this goal to fruition.
