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 eager, motivated, and excited to learn. I have a classroom that consists of 5 and 6-year-old Kindergartners that for some, this is their first time in a school setting. Many of my students come to school with limited social skills and vocabulary to thrive in an educational setting.

They have great attendance and smiling faces as they enter my classroom each morning.

They are positive and happy every day. Although they have so many skills to learn, their hard work is evident in all they do. Our school is a STEAM Magnet with a supportive community. Many students ride the bus to attend our school and qualify for free or reduced-rate lunch.

My Project

I would like to request resources that will support my teaching while in my classroom. Keeping students safe while continuing our learning is essential at this time of year. In order to do this, I would need items that allow us to communicate from different areas of the classroom.

A microphone to amplify my voice for my students, whiteboards, markers, and erasers for students to display their learning from a distance, and color masking tape to mark directions for students will help students continue LEARNING at a SAFE, FRIENDLY DISTANCE.

All of these items will support students learning while creating a safe environment.
