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

I have 32 energetic fourth graders in my New York City classroom. Many of the children come from low-economic households, but they have big dreams. They understand the importance of a good education. Most of the students attend after-school programs as well, so they spend the majority of their day in school.

My students work both in homogeneous groups and in heterogeneous groups in order to accomplish their daily learning targets.

We not only focus our academic goals, but on our social-emotional goals as well. We are involved with the Leader in Me program and practice our 7 Habits of Happy Kids. We understand that in order to be successful in school, we must always try our best. We motivate each other and work as a team.

My Project

I am so excited because my school is going to begin a Girl Empowerment Movement club led by myself and a fellow teacher. We are going to integrate social emotional learning with technology. We will begin with a group of fourth grade girls who are interested in developing self-confidence, self-respect, intelligence, and creativity. We want the girls to value who they are and not just how they look. Our fourth graders will partner up with middle school students who will become their "big sisters". They will teach them about coding and girl empowerment leadership skills.

We are requesting children's books that promote "Girl Power" so we can read them together and have discussions about brave girls and women.

We will discuss social issues among girls such as, equality, ambition, acceptance, unity and strength. We want to inspire girls to set goals for themselves and to help each other achieve them. We also want to promote sisterhood.
