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

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create as well as help advance their reading levels. I teach high school English to long term English learners and these books will help promote literacy and represent the students I teach. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these.

I use student work to decorate my room and to showcase what they are learning in multiple ways.

This allows me to create a positive learning environment and keep students engaged in what we are working on. The construction paper and markers will be used by students to create vocabulary and other posters that show-off what they have and are currently learning in class. The classroom posters will be used to help them write using specific and strong words. The dry erase boards will allow my students to brainstorm ideas and answer review questions before tests. Lastly, the games and lights will be used to cultivate a welcoming and community driven environment.
