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

My students are persistent, eager learners! When given the opportunity, they soak up new learning and yearn for more. We are a Title I school with 98% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Education comes after parents work long hours, bills get paid, and food in the refrigerator. Who could blame them? The parents of our scholars do their absolute best. Learning stops when the bell rings for our students. It is in our best interest as educators to offer as much exposure as possible when inside the school walls. STEM bins, Manga Tiles, magnetic blocks, and Squish Squeeze Sensory Beads offer another level of learning. My hope is to extend beyond our normal curriculum expanding students’ minds into the state of inventing, creating, and being life long problem-solvers and learners.
