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 students are special because they are unique. My Pre-K bilingual students are raised in a low SES community. This is the community where I was raised, which is why I am teaching at this elementary school. I want to give back to our community, the community who saw me grow up and become the best teacher I can be.

Our school has been recently affected by Hurricane Harvey.

I lost all materials, including the materials parents had left in my classroom for their children. We are moving location and have to start all over. However, my students inspire me and I know we will be okay.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my students' learning by giving them the opportunity to explore and work with math and literacy centers. These resources will improve my student's school lives by giving them the resources to help them become critical thinkers. An item my students and I will definitely use is the easel. I use to have a brand new easel, however, with hurricane Harvey, my easel got mold and I was not able to take it to the new building where we will be located. This resource list also includes math manipulatives that my Pre K students will use during their math centers. These centers will help my students learn how to classify and count objects. I also included books and letters to help my students build a strong literacy foundation.
