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

In this classroom we work together to build a community. We all come from different background, cultures, trauma, experiences, and more. There is so much that makes us different but also so much that brings us together. We work so hard to help others and create a loving and caring enviorment. Safety is out number one concern. Following is learning. Seeing so much academic growth this year despite all of the COVID issues in the past and present has made my heart so happy. Nothing can stop us from learning when we are so dedicating and eager. I cannot wait to see what else these boys and girls can do. But we need your help to continue to supply tools to support our learning and growth!

My Project

These books will allow for students to have resources to learn from during February. February is a big month since it is kindness month and Black History month. There is a lot to celebrate and a lot to learn. In my opinion literature is the best way to learn. Especially when it comes to history it is our closest way to understanding how they felt and what happened. I have such helpful, kind, caring students and they deserve to enhance these skills and continue to become better people through knowledge. Thank you for your support!
