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

Most of my students come from a low-income community, and the majority has to face challenging situations in their everyday lives. Regardless of this, they are eager and ready to learn. Families in our community are primarily Spanish speaking and most of our students are English language learners. Our school is an inclusive place where students feel welcomed and respected individuals. My students are 4th grade diverse learners with learning and/or behavior difficulties.

My students’ love for learning inspires me to create the best classroom environment for them.

They come to school with high expectations and I want to have the resources they need to meet their individual needs and interests

My Project

In starting the school year, it is essential for my diverse learners to have the necessary materials for instruction. With these materials, hopefully provided, it will better the learning environment both at school and at home. For example, by allowing my students to each have their own folder portfolio, this will allow for them to be more organized. All their classroom materials/handouts can be neatly organized in this portfolio and will be helpful towards completing their homework.

Creative minds get a boost with appropriate supplies!

These materials will also be extremely beneficial in improving the classroom learning environment. Our classroom activities can be expanded through the use of composition notebooks, pencils, sticky notes, dry erase boards and dry erase markers. Since all of my students are visual and hands on learners, having these supplies will help them learn the material better as well as keeping them engaged.
