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 Project

I teach third through eighth grade students Technology and Makerspace. Most of our time together focusing on coding, designing, and building. I have begun to introduce them to Amazon's Future Engineer Career Tours, which have been a huge asset to them thinking about potential jobs and careers they could strive to achieve. However a crucial step in that direction is considering college, university or trade school. Many of my students come from families in which their parents have never graduated high school or attended college. I have always made it a point to discuss with my students career goals, education goals, and college options. I grew up in a home where going to college was an expectation and the conversations about careers, college, and life plans were started in upper elementary and middle school. I want to bring that to my students.

Help to inspire my students to go to college by having pennants displayed all around the classroom for them to see daily and look into those schools as potential fits for them moving forward in their education.

Your contribution to this project will not only inspire the current students I have but students for years to come. I thank you in advance for your generosity towards this project and hope that you will support the other phases of this project and share it with others that you feel would also want to support and inspire them to strive for a college education.
