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 Project

What do we need in 2024? The responses varied. My sweet male student said that he wanted a banner. I asked why. He said, in every teacher's room there are premade banners. Why can't we create our own inspirational banners. Everyone agreed. Another student, who I had last year, said, I really loved when you won inspirational stickers. "I put them on my water bottle and on my Chromebook."Again, everyone nodded in agreement. Students asked me, What do you need?

I need blank maps to help my students learn geography in my history classes.

I also need thumb & map tacks to display students' artwork, writings, and inspirational messages. We have a class called advisory. It is the time that students can complete assignments and "just chill" without their devices. Many students suggested sketch books for this time. They really love this time to draw letters, shapes, animals, eyes, etc once their work is complete or nearly complete. Instead of handing out blank paper, they requested sketch books. Bravo!

I asked about how we could be better organized in 2024. Although there are school Google calendars, my students prefer to take photos of our communal homeroom calendar. I include school events, deadlines, our homeroom birthdays, and what to expect in the upcoming months and school year.

I have a student who really wants to read during our advisory period. She said, I really want to read the books that begin with The Summer I Turned Pretty. We are all hoping that you might help us with all of our needs & wants for 2024.
