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 scholars love school and are eager to learn! They can be seen showing their leadership skills by reading to a classmate, assisting a younger scholar with classwork or organizing materials for a group project. When visitors enter my classroom, they always compliment my scholars on how engaged they are in discussions about books and conversations about using innovative strategies in math. They show their communication skills by making announcements to the class and "turning and talking" to their partners.

Each of my students come from low-income homes.

The cultural make-up of our students is as follows: 91% Latino (Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Ecuador), 7% are African or African-American; and 1% are Asian. 36% of our scholars are English Language Learners. More than half of our students are part of after-school programs that allow them to be active, express themselves on stage, or develop their skills in reading, writing and math.

My Project

Kindness is a concept that is valuable for all children to learn. Books help young children learn difficult concepts. These specific books were chosen to add to a unit on kindness. They will help young scholars understand the importance of being kind in school, in our community and at home.

Along with learning about feelings and how to best express them, these materials will help children learn ways to show kindness and illustrate the positive impact kindness has on our community.

Books with multicultural characters in both urban and suburban environments will add value to lessons on identifying feelings and being kind to others.
