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

What a group! I teach third and fourth grade students in a self-contained 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!

I often tell my students, "Don't study to earn, study to learn because what you learn today is what you will become tomorrow."

For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching students who favor all academic subjects. They enjoy sharing their individuality and uniqueness when we engage in our lively social studies or reading conversations. I admire them collectively on one particular character trait that is so essential to success in learning -- confidence!

My goal, as their teacher, is to direct their confidence to enhance their drive to learn and succeed in my classroom.

My Project

The materials in this projects will greatly benefit my students, who come from impoverished neighborhoods and live on a daily basis with scarcity of quality learning materials at home.

I want to give back to these students.

Coming from low-income and impoverished neighborhoods, the availability of quality resources is much needed. I want to address their social and emotional needs using the social awareness books, emotion stencils, calming cards and emotion magnets.

Other materials such as he fidget toys, ribbons, feathers and tissue paper will be used to make learning hands-on, relatable and applicable in every day living.
