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 an amazing, curious, funny, and thoughtful crew! They live in an urban area, in a district that faces many financial struggles. They come to school each day with a willingness to learn and grow that never ceases to inspire me.

Their resilience, curiosity, and willingness to take risks to learn, make it such an honor to be their teacher.

I love going on a learning journey each year with my students. We visit fantastic settings through great literature, we dive into mathematical concepts and problems with gusto, and we investigate the world around us, both past and present.

My Project

Sixth graders are fascinated by Greek mythology, and these materials will help us launch our study of all things Greek! We will be studying ancient Greek history in social studies and learning about Greek mythology in English language arts! We will share the riveting novel Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, while also reading many Greek myths.

Studying Greek mythology is important because not only does it help us to understand the past, but also the present.

So much of Greek culture has influenced present-day culture - allusions to mythology can be seen in books, movies, shows, company names, and more. These materials will help students build essential background knowledge about history and culture that will help them better understand literature and the world around them.
