Celebrating 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.
MTV, BET, reality TV. That is where our kids get their "information" these days. Kids know more about the hottest trends in music and who just broke up with who than the know about what is really going on in the world today.
My students are fourth and fifth grade special education students who attend a public school in Louisiana.
They have various needs and disabilities who, when motivated, can do amazing work and have excellent minds. What they lack is a more well-rounded experience of what is going on in the world. When it comes to the latest in entertainment and sports, then my students know it. They need to have access to more appropriate outlets of currents events so they can grow into better critical thinkers.
My Project
Both of these magazine subscription give an insight into current events that is written for the age group I teach using language they can understand and great pictures and charts. Both of these magazines also have digital versions to further educate the students on the topics discussed. They both also come with skill building lessons and assessments.
My students have various disabilities that make it harder for them to learn and even be harder at times to motivate them to want to learn.
I think with these grade appropriate materials, I can inspire my students to care more about something other than sports stars, rappers or starlets. To be successful in life, truly successful, you need to be able to think critically. These materials will help me to create a learning environment where that can happen.
