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 are lively, lovable, bright and respectful. They yearn for knowledge and aim to always reach their goals. Our school is located in Elmhurst, New York. We are a Title I school, which means that students come from many different social and economic circumstances.
The school population is very culturally diverse, with students who come from every part of the world!
I teach a diverse population of students, ranging from honors to students receiving special education services, and English Language Learners who come from many different cultural backgrounds and educational needs. I teach ELA to three different seventh-grade classes. My students are challenged to adjust to different settings, as the pandemic has affected their normal education. Elmhurst was a very hard hit area from the start and still remains to be a very hard place for the students to be. To fully adjust, and we must not only focus on math skills but socio-emotional as well.
My Project
We will be doing our first two units on Identity, Empowerment, and Resilience. These books will serve as a resource for them to use as we learn about the importance of self-awareness, social issues, and help students gain self-confidence.
"If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you, If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you" —Zig Ziglar
Understanding ones own identity is very important in seventh grade. These books will help students see how they can relate to one another, even though they come from diverse backgrounds.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
