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 high schoolers ages 13-18 and have had a really rough year. The pandemic has really exacerbated problems and challenges at home. Not only do they come to my class to learn about US History, but they also come to find a home away from home.

My Project

The pandemic has created a rough home environment for many of my students. Problems at home have been exacerbated with all the stress that the pandemic has brought on. Many of my students come to school just to get away from home.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, students cannot learn unless their basic needs are met.

Einstein once said "I never teach my students, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which thy can learn...." Help me create a home away from home so my students can learn the best they can!
