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

There are many things I love about my students. They are funny, respectful, inquisitive, and have a willingness to learn. As English Language Learners, my students bring to the class their unique personalities and experiences.

Their language and culture are assets to our school and our community.

For our Inventors Unit, I can provide my students with digital resources, but I often struggle to gather books and magazines that will further support their research. I’d like to make available to them a more diverse classroom library, reflective of who they are and who they can become.

Through the texts on my “If I can Think it, I can Make it” project, I hope to foster a sense of belonging while motivating and empowering my students to learn and grow. It is inspiring to witness how my students grow academically, but it is most rewarding when they flourish into dual language individuals.
