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

My school is a Title I School that allows all students to have a free breakfast and lunch due to the socio-economic background of the community. Over half of our students are learning English. The reading materials will help give the students a better foundation as they learn skills to help them become wonderful readers.

Today, students are faced with challenges that were unimaginable ten years ago.

However, they are working hard to sort out their feelings and learn in a community of diverse learners. Crayons are used often in my classroom in order to allow the students to express how they are feeling. Crayons are helpful especially when students are becoming readers because a picture can provide a way to express feelings. The cleaning products allow for a clean class environment. I clean the students desks because the custodial staff isn't large enough to care for the details like desk. Also, as we figure out how to deal with a virus and other things, cleaning products help keep our classroom safe. Thanks for helping my class have a wonderful school year.
