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

I teach 60 Black and Latino/a middle school students at a Title 1 school where nearly 80% of our families qualify for free/reduced price school meals. What makes this group extra special? I taught half of them in my first-year as a 1st grade teacher!

Now that these students are older and experiencing a lot of changes (emotionally, mentally and physically), I want to do what I can to keep them motivated, engaged and excited about school!

The items in this project will allow me to reward positive behavior, incentivize commitment to learning and create a welcoming and flexible physical environment.

My goal is to foster a classroom community powered by determined, empathetic and brave learners. By creating a positive and safe learning environment that celebrates their efforts, I know that my students will meet their personal and academic goals this school year!
