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 and I are currently in the midst of distance learning. We are separated by sickness, uncertainty and space; at the same time, we are united by our love, our history together and our dedication to learning. In many ways, distance learning has been a struggle for my students; they are dealing with confined learning spaces, uncertain living environments and inequitable access to resources.

We are living through history.

My students are incredible people. They come with tenacity, creativity, and a wide variety of experiences and gifts. We work hard everyday as scholars, artists, critical thinkers and friends.

My Project

My students and I have been in distance learning for about six weeks. This has been difficult for all of us. We miss each other and our routines and the enrichment I am able to provide in our school setting. As a part of our new routine, I am hosting a daily Morning Meeting with my students, which includes our daily read aloud, games and art activities.

I'm excited to try new projects with my students while they are learning at home.

In order to do that, we all need to have the same supplies. One of the project ideas I have are making piñatas. We would need balloons, glue, tissue paper and markers. I think that this would be a great chance for my students and I to do something together even though we are apart. Thank you for inspiring us and giving us a chance to create together.
