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

Nelson Mandela believed, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Teaching in a community impacted by gun violence, poverty, hunger, and now COVID-19, I couldn't agree more with Mr. Mandela. My students face many challenges in and out of school. Despite the challenges they face daily, I aim to equip my students with essential tools needed by fostering a safe learning environment.

My students love to read, do science projects, and they really love to come to school.

A great number of my students are being raised by family members other than their parents. Many who are fortunate to live with their parents are living below the poverty rate. These factors may prevent them from having the life experiences others take for granted. I want to continue to create a safe place where my students are encouraged to reach their fullest potential and grow. I may not be able to control their lives at home, however, I can control their experience at school. By fostering a creative and fun learning environment, it is my hope to ensure my students reach their academic potential and dream bigger than their present circumstances will allow!

My Project

These resources, copy paper, folders, and stickers, will help my students to stay organized and motivated to complete all tasks. While Covid-19 has become an imposter that has unfortunately stolen what was once considered normalcy, organized learning shouldn't have to stop. As we transition back to a full return, ensuring that each student has their supplies that are easily identifiable and capable to be handled by each individual student is the goal. The folders will serve as the hub for all students' instructional reading level. The sticker allows for them to identify their folders without touching their peers.
