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

I am teaching English Language learners from 7th grade to 12th grade this school year. Though these students are struggling with the English language, I can see their motivation and hard work as they come to school to learn.

My students' determination to learn despite their struggles inspired me to do my best to help them achieve their individual goals.

As their teacher, I want to establish a good relationship with my students. I believe that my students are capable of great things if given the right opportunities and resources. I am looking forward to making projects to benefit my students and help them realize their utmost potential.

My Project

One of the best things to help the students in the classroom is to help them motivate themselves. These materials if granted will used in a variety of student-active teaching activities. The Binding Machine is very useful especially since they are doing journals almost every day. The electric sharpener is one of the most important things in the classroom since they are using pencils every day. Glue, scissors, rulers, markers, and coloring materials are also useful in their journals. We are always out of these and that's why sometimes it will result in students lacking interest in doing the activity. With your help, smiles will be seen in the faces of my students. Post it notes will be used almost every day as our exit ticket. Sometimes, they are told to finish their activity at home when we run out of time. Thank you so much in advance for your help. This will really make a huge difference in the lives of my students.
