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 teach a caring, insightful group of 23 students who are dedicated and super excited to be back in-person learning in their classroom. Of my twenty-three students, thirteen are English Learners, ranging from Newcomer English Learners to students who are now considered Long Term English Learners, having been in the EL program for five years or over. Three of my students receive RSP Resource Specialist Services support for English Language Developing and math skills, and two students are attending IDEC. My students are predominantly of Latino background.

My Project

We are back in in-person sessions in our school and kids are interacting while learning in the classroom and playing during recess breaks. They are active and get thirsty during our day, however, my students can not sip drinks from the school's water fountains due to ongoing COVID-19 safety precautions. Providing metal water bottles for my students will eliminate the recurrent use of disposable plastic water bottles. These metal water bottles will allow my students to get hydrated, refill their water bottles when needed, and reduce the consumption of plastic in my classroom.
