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 6th Grade class at Miami Jr/Sr High School is special because of their ability to face adversity together. This year they lost two of their three teachers by the second semester.

Instead of imploding, this group of students bonded together and created an "us verse the world" mentality.

While this made it hard on teachers who could not build their trust. It made it possible for the students to protect one another. This 6th grade group is not just a class, they are a team, a well oiled machine.

My Project

This lesson is designed to help small town kids see beyond their neighborhood, into a bigger world. Especially now, with social distancing, students in my community can feel isolated from the rest of the world.

Help me to show these kids that the world can be more than they dreamed and to know that they are part of it.

The novel I chose to go with the Globes will help them to understand their part in the big picture. The Globe's help with Geography and Political structure. They will be used greatly. But beyond that.

The Globe's can help to give the students a sense of wonder and adventure. At this age these kids are learning that they are not the only person in the world. This lesson is to help them digest that constructively.
