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 are some of the most resilient, energetic, and inspiring young people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Many of them come from single-parent homes, most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at our Title I school, and a large number of them have had to endure homelessness. They are also leaders and role models for the younger siblings they help care for while parents are at work.

Regardless of the struggles that they may face, my students still find a way to show up to class smiling every single day.

They are excited about their future and all of the possibilities that await them. While they are aware, it will take a lot of work and dedication to get there. I have never met a more capable group of young people.

My Project

While our students are being kept at home, through this distance learning, many are struggling to express themselves. Many are finding it difficult to be happy. With these arts & crafts and games, our students will be able to enjoy their distance learning while engaging their families in a full family fun time. An easy way to take their minds off of the times we are facing. Through the use of these materials, our students will be able to interact with their families, communicating, thinking logically, expressing themselves, allowing them to be creative. The stacking blocks, art sand, and string art will all our students to explore the subjects covered in online class. From geometry shape exploring to kinetic energy, our students will get hands-on experience. The empowering games will allow our students to work on their English language all while taking charge of their emotions. This is a simple but effective way to not only keep our families together but build a stronger bond that goes beyond the classroom.
