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 love it when I am working with students and that magic moment happens, especially in an ICT classroom. That moment when a student who has never smiled, smiles. That moment when a student has that lightbulb moment and finally understands a learning point. Teaching is magical.

As a special education teacher, my greatest ability is to have positive impact upon lives.

It’s why I do what I do. I want to make a difference, not just to the students in my classroom but in every classroom.

As life long learners, I want to be able to provide them with the proper tools to become college and career ready.

My Project

Reading is important because it develops our thoughts, gives us endless knowledge and lessons to read while keeping our minds active.

Reading improves spelling.

As students learn to sound out letters and words, spelling becomes easier. Also, reading helps to expand the vocabulary. Reading new words puts them in their mind for later use. Seeing how words are used in different contexts can give a better understanding of the word usage and its definitions rather than just the cold facts of a dictionary.

Lastly, with reading, a person can go anywhere in the world...or even out of it! They can be a king, or an adventurer, or a princess, or... The possibilities are endless.
