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

"The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you." (B.B. King, 1998). Help facilitate the best possible learning environment and give the future thinkers of the world something that can never be taken away​ knowledge.

My students are resilient, determined immigrants and refugees from all over the world.

Their families risked everything to bring them to the United States in hopes that their children could break out of the cycle of poverty and gang activity so prevalent in their home countries.

Well, the hard part has just begun as these 5th graders start the journey to learning English. My students need access to effective, research-based materials to help them achieve the "American Dream" and become the world's next generation of leaders and innovators.

My Project

We are currently using older headphones that often break or stop working. As a result, many of my students do not have the chance for laser-focus in their lessons because of the noise of other students' lessons around them. Multilingual students have been effected at a much higher rate than any other student during this ever-present pandemic and need the noise-cancelling technology of newer headphones in order to learn the sounds and mouth positioning of a new language.

I want my students to gain a love and passion for the world and universe around them that has limitless possibilities for them.

Unfortunately, science and history curriculum can often be taught in a dry, rushed, and one-sided manner, which lowers the interest for it shown by students. I am looking for books that celebrate diversity, teach all sides of American History and empower all students' learning and journeys through the use of representation. The past few years of facing a pandemic together have brought up conversations that have been hard to explain to my students but hard discussions can be had through the use of well-written books.
