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

I teach a diverse group of hardworking and resilient English Language Development (ELD) students, including international students, who are navigating both a new language and a new educational system. Despite the challenges they face—language barriers, financial hardships, and limited access to resources—they are eager to learn and determined to succeed. My goal is to create a classroom environment that is engaging, organized, and supportive so my students have everything they need to thrive academically.

The markers, pens, and paper will allow my students to participate in interactive lessons, brainstorm ideas, and develop their writing skills.

A bookshelf will help organize our classroom library, encouraging independent reading and literacy development. The Apple TV will enhance instruction by allowing me to incorporate videos, visual aids, and interactive lessons that make learning more accessible and engaging. A first aid kit will ensure that students have access to basic medical care for minor injuries, creating a safe learning environment. Lastly, snacks will support students who may come to class hungry, allowing them to focus on learning instead of their empty stomachs.

My students are special because they are determined, curious, and full of potential. They show up every day, ready to learn, despite the obstacles they face. This project will remove barriers to learning, foster engagement, and create a supportive space where students can grow in their language skills and confidence. With your support, I can provide the tools my students need to succeed academically and feel empowered in their learning journey.
