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

Kindergarten is a fundamental introduction to education. Through the last year and a half, the Las Vegas economy was hit hard with tourism becoming extinct. 90% of my classroom qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch and weekend food aid. These families have truly struggled through this pandemic to make our students' education a priority when they are fighting poverty. I am so thankful that we are able to provide the resources for students to excel in and out of the classroom.

My Kindergarten class is VegasStrong!

These students are actively striving to become engaged learners. These little ones have spent most of their young lives in a quarantine world but they are doing everything possible to take advantage of the time they have lost. We spend a lot of time working on social-emotional awareness to make up for all of the face-to-face time they missed out on. Help us create our leaders of tomorrow!

My Project

As we venture on into the end of the 2021-22 school year it is shocking to think that most of these children were babies when our world was turned upside down. They came into a foreign environment with little social skills and as you can guess. They were traumatized. They were no longer in the comfort of home as they dealt with these big emotions. It became clear quickly that this group of kindergarteners where going to need extra help figuring out how to deal with the feelings of anxiety, stress, anger, and excitement from the expanding world around them.

The students are able to go to the quiet corner and take their minds off of these big emotions and breathe while they recenter themselves.

Once they are ready to join the class again we take a minute to talk through their emotions and make sure they have worked through what triggered them. These chairs will give them a comfortable place to sit and work through big emotions in a safe place.
