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.
My Students
My students in my Spanish classes this year are very smart, creative, and full of energy. They enjoy working in groups, and learn from others. They also have a lot of fun when doing hands on projects When they come to class everyday, I can see they all want to learn new things, share their knowledge with others, and engage with the new culture learning in class. I really want them to have fun and have a great experience learning about the Spanish language and culture.
The majority of the students in my classroom come to class saying they do not have all the materials or resources needed to complete many of their projects.
My Project
These materials make a difference in my students' learning because many of the students in the class have no financial support when its relates to buy supplies for the creation of projects. Their limitation creates some frustration among them because they really want to go to school and they do want to do nice and neat projects like everyone else in other schools.
After deciding which character they want to create as their model, the students will have the opportunity to make their own piñata from scratch using papier maché.
When the papier maché is hard, the students will be taught how to cut the curls, and how to glue them all to the papier maché. After the curls are glued and completed, the students will have the fun of putting candy inside of their piñatas, and later being able to brake them.
