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

What a group! I teach third and fourth-grade students in a 12:1:1 classroom. They are so special!

I often tell my students "Don't study to earn, study to learn because what you learn today is what you will become tomorrow."

For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching students who favor all academic subjects. They enjoy sharing their individuality and uniqueness when we engage in our lively social studies or reading conversations.

I admire them collectively on one particular character trait that is so essential to success in learning -- confidence!

My goal, as their teacher, is to direct their confidence to enhance their drive to learn and succeed in my classroom.

My Project

My students discover themselves through social-emotional learning. They are in touch with their strengths and learn to overcome their weaknesses. These materials will be used in our daily mindset and social-emotional writing. My students learn about each other and it strengthens our school community.

We hope as educators that our students will carry over teachings and life lessons to navigate this world successfully.

The teachings that the books give over will hopefully become the lessons my students will take with them when they are home and experience the real world.

Our generation, more than ever before, needs tools to overcome anger and enhance happiness, patience, and peace.
