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

There's no place like school. For my students school is a safe haven, a place where they can let their creativity shine. At our school, students express themselves through the arts. They engage in dance, art, drama and music. My scholars are full of energy and eager to learn.

We are a Title I school located in the heart of Brownsville, Brooklyn.

When my scholars walk through the doors at 7:30am, they are busy and ready to learn. We are the first charter school in NYC and New York state to become a Leader in Me Light house school. We don't only focus on academics, we also focus on character. My students learn how to be risk takers, they learn how to show empathy, and they learn the importance of being principled. They are our future world leaders, and they know it!

My Project

These materials will allow students to safely store their belonging. Each student will have their own storage caddy and pencil case.

These materials will allow my students to safely social distance, and also keep them engaged.

The colorful rug is just what my classroom needs for small group instruction. Fraction pieces, and multiplication cards are great resources for my students. The magnetic labels will add tons of fun to our everyday learning.

These materials will help keep our classroom safe, organized, welcoming and engaging. Our students deserve to learn in the best environment possible. These materials can help ensure their success.
