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

What a group! I teach 3rd and 4th grade students in a self-contained 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!

I often tell my students "Don't study to earn, study to learn because what you learn today is what you will become tomorrow.

For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching students who favor all academic subjects. They enjoy sharing their individuality and uniqueness when we engage in our lively social studies or reading conversations.

I admire them collectively on one particular character trait that is so essential to success in learning -- confidence!

My goal as their teacher is to direct their confidence to enhance their drive to learn and succeed in my classroom.

My Project

These materials are art supplies and will certainly be extremely essential in my classroom. My students, who come from impoverished neighborhoods, count on these materials to make learning enjoyable and accessible.

Now that learning is blended, remote and in-house, I want to make the transition from being quarantined and possibly traumatized as smooth and enjoyable as I possibly can.

These materials are incredibly helpful in making that transition and making my classroom welcoming. After being trained in applying social emotional learning for those students who may have experienced trauma, I plan to incorporate those strategies as I use the items including the motivational posters, sensory items and gratitude cards.

I plan to motivate my students to do their best learning with growth mindset motivational posters, giving them a break and mentally recharge using the sensory items and recognize the good others do for them with "thank you" cards.

A large portion of teaching is planning.

Your help will enable my students to make a happy transition back to school!

These students are our future!

I appreciate your time, consideration and care.
