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

Kindergarten is a fundamental introduction to education. Through the last year and a half, the Las Vegas economy was hit hard with tourism becoming extinct. 90% of my classroom qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch and weekend food aid. These families have truly struggled through this pandemic to make our students' education a priority when they are fighting poverty. I am so thankful that we are able to provide the resources for students to excel in and out of the classroom.

My Kindergarten class is VegasStrong!

These students are actively striving to become engaged learners. These little ones have spent most of their young lives in a quarantine world but they are doing everything possible to take advantage of the time they have lost. We spend a lot of time working on social-emotional awareness to make up for all of the face-to-face time they missed out on. Help us create our leaders of tomorrow!

My Project

Our school is a 93% diversity school that is a home to students from all over the world. As I am teaching my students to read, and about the intricate nuances that are the english language, I learned that in my class of 5 year olds we had 7 different countries represented.

I try to make sure that each student feels like they see themselves represented in the literature that we are introducing.

Every student gravitates to a favorite book where the story feels familiar or brings back a memory. As a new teacher I am excitedly collecting a diversity of stories that mirror my students. We are teaching our leaders of tomorrow and I hope that one day they are asked to read to a classroom and they pick their favorite childhood book only to realize that the characters in the story were a lot like them. A rainbow colored world.
