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 make my teaching career worthwhile despite the nonstop demands in the field. I can always count on my students to put a smile on my face when they enter the classroom. Their bright faces along with their sweet words are the highlight of my day. My students work so hard to learn new things at such a young age. It’s amazing to see how much my students have grown in just a few months. My students are always ready to learn.

My Project

I am a preschool teacher in Newark, New Jersey. My students are young eager learners, who learn best through hands on experiences. We use creative curriculum, which is a research-based curriculum that features exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.

We are currently working on promoting STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) in the classroom.

STEAM education allows students more opportunities to engage in hands on learning, especially technology, science, and engineering. In an effort to make science come alive, we are seeking donations.

1. Digital camera (will allow students an opportunity to take pictures of their work, and observe the process of printing the images)

2. iPads (will allow students the opportunity to research and learn how to type)

3. Telescope (will allow students to explore the Earth)
