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

My thirty students are very bright and love to learn. My goal is to make my classroom the most enriching learning environment I can. By providing my students with the materials to conduct hands-on learning, we are providing them with endless possibilities and memories to last a lifetime.

My favorite thing about my group of kids is their diversity.

They come from a very diverse range of home structures: single parent, multiple-family, foster, migrant, and military just to name a few. They also come from many different cultures. We are a Title I school, and a majority of our students receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch.

It is important for me to meet the needs of all of my students in a safe, fun, and engaging environment.

My Project

As of now, we are still maneuvering through distance learning; the light at the end of the tunnel is that there are plans being discussed to bring students back in the next few months. Although we are looking forward to this day, we know that it will not mean complete normalcy in the classroom.

Making this transition back to the classroom will be difficult for both myself and my students, but I want to try to make it as seamless as I can for my kiddos.

Having these items to use in the classroom to label all of my kids supplies would be so incredibly helpful.

I plan to use the Cricut heat press to label different items in my classroom, which will allow me to organize and customize each students' individual supplies. This will be beneficial since they wont be able to share their items, and will need to keep track of their own supplies. I will use the canvas bags for their larger items, and the smaller bags for things like their pencils, pens, markers, and crayons. I look forward to letting my creativity run wild, and being able to use these items in my classroom, as well as for items I send home with my students.
