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

What a group! I teach third and fourth grade students in a self-contained 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!

I often tell my students "Don't study to earn, study to learn because what you learn today is what you will become tomorrow."

For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching students who favor all academic subjects. They enjoy sharing their individuality and uniqueness when we engage in our lively social studies or reading conversations.

I admire them collectively on one particular character trait that is so essential to success in learning -- confidence!

My goal, as their teacher, is to direct their confidence to enhance their drive to learn and succeed in my classroom.

My Project

The materials in this projects will greatly benefit my students, who come from impoverished neighborhoods and live on a daily basis with scarcity of quality learning materials at home.

It would be a great service and privilege for me to be able to give them what they need to succeed and put their best effort in learning.

I plan to use the journals and reading comprehension workbooks to introduce literacy concepts and vocabulary by presenting interesting texts to keep the students engaged.

Other materials such as card stock paper, adhesives, coding labels and stop watches are going to give my students the opportunity to make learning materials they can take home and reinforce learning concepts.
