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

I will have the privilege of teaching twenty six thoughtful, driven and curious learners in my 4th/5th grade classroom with my co-teacher this year. Our classroom is filled with many students that we have developed meaningful relationships with, as well as some new students that we are so excited to get to know! Being in an inclusive co-taught setting, we have the opportunity to learn from one another through a student centered classroom based around collaborative learning.

In my classroom, I want students to feel empowered, valued, and driven to reach their full potential.

I teach in a diverse community in Manhattan. In my school, we teach students from all five boroughs with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, which has fostered a unique school experience centered around the celebration of our differences. My school is also considered a Title 1 school, which serves many low-income families.

My Project

The materials I am requesting will help bring the magic of Harry Potter to life in my classroom!

This year, my students and I have been reading Harry Potter as a basis to discuss what it means to be inclusive, accepting, and strong in the face of adversity.

Harry Potter read aloud time has become the most treasured part of my student's days; and my student's love for the series has spread to the entire grade.

As a culminating celebration of this school year, I would like to celebrate my students Harry Potter style, and leave them with a parting gift of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' to celebrate all the hard work they have done this year. Please consider helping me celebrate the growth of my students this year by donating to this project!
