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

Our Montessori Lower Elementary classroom is part of a public K-12 charter school. Students in our class come from a richly diverse background and they truly enjoy learning and harnessing their understanding of being citizens of the Universe. The multi-age classroom of children ages 6-9 makes for a beautiful dance of learning, mentorship, and community building. It creates a wonderful sense of community and encourages students to think outside themselves for the good of all.

Having a well rounded library will help prepare our students for the rich diversity of the world around them.

Students in our class enjoy having the knowledge of the Universe at their fingertips and discovering how we are all interconnected. They are tactile learners, problem solvers, global citizens, critical thinkers, and genuinely caring spirits. They have a love for learning because they are able to, quite literally, put their learning in their own hands.

A love for books is fostered at an early age, and a love for reading begins in the lower elementary grades. While some of the younger students in our Montessori Lower Elementary class are not quite reading fluently, it doesn't stop them from picking up a good book! I want to be able to capture that enthusiasm for learning through books the minute they begin their time in our classroom.
