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 want my classroom to be a place students want to come to everyday, not have to come everyday. After the past year, this has been a challenge with distance and hybrid learning schedules due to the pandemic.

Each student is different, each year is different, and this is why I love my job.

I love being able to figure out what makes my students excited to come to school everyday, which activities makes them learn, and how I can help or possibly inspire them to reach their full potential.

My school is located in South Los Angeles where one hundred percent of the students receive free lunch. My school is a Performing Arts Magnet, so the students come from a variety of homes all over Los Angeles County from various socioeconomic backgrounds.

I have some parents that are teachers, some attorneys, some that are construction workers, and some that work more than one job to make ends meet. What they all have in common is a desire to give their child the best education possible.

My Project

I would like to create a board in my classroom for my students to showcase the writing they have done throughout the school year. I am requesting plastic clipboards and hangers to create this board. As we publish a writing piece, the students can hang it on their clipboard to be displayed and read by their fellow students or visitors to the classroom. As they publish more pieces, they can just add it to the clipboard creating a year-long writing portfolio. They work very hard on these writing pieces and now, they can be enjoyed all year long.
