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 Project

Since I will be creating a new classroom experience, I wanted to provide my students with the necessary tools to make sure they are successful. Students will be working in workshops (like a college setting) to strengthen their writing skills when it comes to creative writing. They will have boards to have at their desk to ask for help, filing systems for their work, podiums for their speeches, and access to a printer for their final portfolio. Providing a real-life college experience and allowing the room to express themselves, will allow them to grow and prepare for their futures.

Ms. Walker Yes Preparatory Southside Secondary Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
