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

Our class is full of talented students who love to learn with hands on projects. We, as creative and passionate staff meet him/her at his/her level of creativity, skills, and academic levels especially in a STEAM curriculum. Our students can be very energetic and at times are dealing with anger management or behavior challenges which require our staff to teach in out-of-the box mentalities.

In our community of high energy, vibrant, and creative learners, we strive to have our students learn in multiple modalities such as using technology, song and dance, poems, and the arts .

We are such an enthusiastic and energetic class consisting of 35 students who are ready to show their passions everyday. We will be engaging in our yearbook activities and arranging our phenomenal photographs to show our school pride.

Of those 35 kids, about 10 are receiving special services to meet their academic needs. Some of the other students need to show what they know by pictures. With our environment today and the ever-changing pace in our advanced technological society, our children need a safe place to learn, move, and have options to learn life skills.

My Project

During these unprecedented times, students are bound to activities at their homes. Let's get them outside to increase their cardiovascular and mental health.

With simple yet interactive jump ropes, basketballs and soccer balls, our students can have a productive outlet to stay physically and mentally healthy, continuously active, and constantly in an uplifting attitude, which are priorities among our students staying at home during distance learning time.

We need our students to be motivated to learn and bridge the gaps, using this sporting equipment to elevate them to the next level.
