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

Our Title I school have a great group of students. Nearly all of my students come from low-income households. They all are great and well-behaved students, but it is very challenging for them to be successful because they don't have all the resources they need at home. I truly believe that it should not be an excuse not to fulfill their dreams.

Due to COVID-19, I am doing everything needed in my classroom to be equipped and ready to begin a challenging new school year.

I am searching for all technology and tools needed for my scholars to be successful. I will do everything possible with the circumstances and limitations so that we will have the best experience.

My students know how to take care of their own learning. I have 50 amazing lives to take care of, and they just make my life more fun and valuable. I just love them so much,and I am looking forward to seeing them become great leaders and better human beings. They are the best!

My Project

Having an External Hard Drive, it will make it easy to keep all class documents in one place. Protect our equipment is very important as well, that is why we need to keep safe my laptop with a Water-Resistant Laptop Backpack. At home I do not have sufficient space but a portable desk will work. We need to keep track of important dates during the school year that is why an Academic Weekly & Monthly Planner will help. A Desk Organizer will help keep all pens, scissors, pencil, etc. in one place, not all over the place. To meet with students in an online virtual classroom, we will use the ring light for better view and better lightning and our old speakers are not functioning anymore, so we need new ones.

In our school we help our students reach their full potential through personalized learning.

With all the changes we've faced, we need to reinvent ourselves and transform our habits through inspired teaching. That is why it is imperative that we stay ahead and provide superior education, regardless our circumstances.
