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

Have you ever wanted to view the world through a four year old's eyes? Well I have and would like the chance to do it! I would like to have my students take pictures of things that are special to them and then share it with the rest of the school to show how diverse people are in our school!

My children are fun, curious, bright, funny 4 and 5 year olds.

They all are from low income families and the majority are learning English as a second language. My children are so appreciative of anything and are so eager to learn about the world.

My Project

As this world becomes more diverse so do our children. Do we always know what they are thinking? Do we understand what the world looks like through their eyes? We create activities and have our own ideas about what we think these children enjoy and find special but is it truly special to them? I want to do an activity that will allow all the children in the classroom to take pictures of what is special or means a lot to them. Then I would like to have school staff look at the pictures, guess what they think the child was trying to capture in the photo, then reveal what the child was actually thinking when they took the picture. I think this activity will open my eyes as their teacher and also other teachers in my school as to what our children are really interested in or are really thinking about how things work in the world.

Like I said before, I want to do my best to give my students fun, loving childhood memories.

Unfortunately, there is only so much I can do using my own money. With the donation of a digital camera it would be a way to capture the joy the kids bring to the classroom.
