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

"Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. It is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals." This famous quote from our civil rights hero, Martin Luther King Jr., sums up the reason for our project.

I teach in a economically depressed area.

We have a diverse class including English Language Learners. My students' diversity brings so much to the classroom and it is a great opportunity to learn from one another. I feel truly honored to teach students who are enthusiastic, caring, and eager to learn each day.

My Project

The education about civil rights in our classrooms is part of our social studies curriculum. Our students are taught that our civil rights heroes fought for justice, equality, and the rights that we all deserve as human beings. They did not fight in vain; because of their heroism, we now live in a society that views every person as an American with equal rights and equal opportunities. Americans can live the so called "American Dream" regardless of ethnic or socio-economic background. This is the message I want to get across my students, to strive for the "American Dream", to have dreams and goals because anything is possible when our society is just and provides an equal opportunity. This is the reason why I have requested an iPad, so that they can research biographies, information, pictures, and videos of our civil rights heroes.

I need your help to help me fund the resource, an iPad mini, which will no doubt enhance my students' research methods.

They will have access to countless activities, ideas, videos, pictures, and other resources that can contribute to them learning about civil rights. Please help me foster a sense of "American Pride" in my students.
