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

My students come from predominantly low-income households. Many have grown up in the Antelope Valley and have never ventured too far from the immediate vicinity. Due to the poverty in our community, all students in our district receive free lunch and breakfast. My students come from families that see education as a way to break out of poverty. My students are great problem solvers and learn how to make do with less. They are caring and compassionate students who want to see a world outside of our city, and experience the adventures of seeing other places, people, and cultures. Most of my students want to go to college and become people who make something of themselves and make their families proud; especially when they are the first in their family to go onto college.

My students are attentive to their education and interested in learning about the world and people who exist beyond their local community.

My students are sensitive to the needs of others and help people in the community by donating food, blankets, and toys to the poor. They look actively to help others in and out of the classroom.

My Project

Over fifty percent of the students at RHS are Hispanic, yet students are reading mostly books from the standard literary canon which consists mostly of white men. Many of these stories are difficult for students to relate to as the language is not the language they speak, nor do the students relate to the characters or situations in these novels.

They need characters that mirror their culture, their experiences, and lifestyle.

Matt Mendez has written a novel that students can relate to and connect to.

Having diverse literature in the classroom will allow students to connect with the characters and foster a love of literature and reading. This book being written by a Hispanic author and utilizing characters of color in predicaments our students can relate to will connect with my students and foster a love of reading due to reading about more contemporary life situations.
