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.
Where do I begin? My students are an amazing group of teenagers who come to class daily excited to see what adventure we have in store. The greatest characteristic of my students is that they are diverse.
I have the honor of teaching students that come from a variety of cultural, socio-economic, and educational backgrounds.
My classroom is richer because of the diversity of the stories, experiences, and students, that make up my classroom.I want to ensure that I provide the resources that my students deserve.
My Project
I have had the honor of moving from elementary school to middle school this year. I have enjoyed every minute of teaching eight grade English and watching the role literature can have in my students' lives.
Unfortunately, it has become apparent that the resources in my classroom do not reflect the culturally diverse backgrounds of my students.
I hope to provide my students with books, literature, and characters that can form meaningful connections with. My students have been so willing to share their amazing backgrounds and stories with me and I want to honor their work by providing them with stories that mirror their own experiences.
