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 Project

Hello, I am A new teacher and I am the 8th Grade social studies teacher. This year I am tasked to help this campus grow from a C to an A and I want to be able to achieve my goal this year. I work in the 5th ward area of Houston, which is a rough area for most of my students. Here in my classroom, I want to promote a safe learning environment for my kids when coming to learn. Most people believe that history is boring, but that is not my object I want my students to feel excited each and every day. I want to be able to create little Historians in my classroom. As a teacher, I want to be able to ease my student's minds when it comes to some class materials they will use throughout the year so these donations will be helpful to them in that way. Next, when looking at printable materials it will be able for me to print out various scaffolds and have them presented early.
