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

My students live in Brooklyn. We are a small school, with approximately four hundred students. Our class has 34 students. Seventy-one percent of our students are entitled to free lunch due to living below the poverty line. I teach in a special education class with approximately forty percent of the class having special needs.

This class has a wonderful mix of personalities.

There are several students with severe behavioral challenges and other students who are so shy that making eye contact can be difficult. As a whole, we have a fantastic time in class. The students and teachers laugh a lot in class. We try to make learning fun. I am most proud of how the students interact with one another. At the beginning of the year, there were many verbal scuffles and mistreating one another.

Now, I am proud to say that we coexist more as a family. The students are helpful with one another and everyone is treated with the respect and courtesy that they deserve. This environment is conducive for a wonderful learning atmosphere. Our students are learning, but our lack of materials hinders our progress.

My Project

These materials will create a visually exciting and good resource for our students to use in class. Using these materials as a learning tool will inspire self reliance as a learner and help create an atmosphere that is warm and inviting for students in our classroom.

The materials that I would like to display in the class, are educational and will serve as good references for the students to refer back to as an educational guides.

The educational material will be invaluable to the students in our classroom. Thank you!
