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

Being at our school for several years, I have gotten the chance to really get to know many of the students in the school, including those I have never taught. Many of them have gone through seriously adverse situations and misfortunes that impact their everyday life, especially their education. I am amazed at how resilient they can be, and how they push through to the best of their abilities regardless of hardships that affect them. Being a fifth-grade teacher has shown me how fast some students have to mature. I have taught their younger siblings in previous years (coming up from kindergarten and first grade) and see how they take care of their family. Each child that I have gotten to know at this school has my heart.

I want nothing but the best for all of these students, and that includes giving them hands-on experiences that will be memorable to them.

My students need to be able to feel like school isn't another one of their draining duties or work. I want All of them to enjoy school and look forward to each day in my class.

My Project

It is so important to keep our children safe and healthy, and schools are one of the places that germs get spread around the most. At the beginning of the year we get supplied with plenty of tissues and wipes, but as the year continues, those things definitely start to dwindle down to nothing. As we approach Spring time, I want to make sure we are well-stocked with tissues and wipes. The shammy will make cleaning spills much easier, and the spray will make for easy disinfecting of pillows and chairs.

The safety and health of my students comes above their academic needs, so I want to make sure their needs are being met.

The amount of supplies I have ordered will last into summer school, too!
