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

In my classroom of multilingual learners from countries all around the world, we strive to make our classroom community feel like home. I, Ms. Angela, teach ELA and ESL to my 9th and 10th grade students. I believe that while each student learns to read, write and communicate clearly in English, their native languages, different cultures, and previous experiences make our learning environment all the more unique. My students are special because they learn to use their minds and creativity to explore real-world issues. They are the next generation of leaders who think critically and advocate for themselves and their communities to make a better world.

I believe that teaching reading sets a strong foundation for student learning.

My teaching goal this 2022-23 year is to support student literacy, in reading and writing, in particular. I wish to help all of our students, from our students with interrupted education to our "high-fliers" to access and navigate information at a level that challenges them.

The library books I am requesting for my students already have a "home..." a dusted, wooden bookshelf sitting patiently in the corner of our classroom. Next to our bookshelf, is a cozy ottoman cushion, where students can nestle into the pages of what they are reading. If they lift their heads, they peer out the window and see a bustling NYC. I imagine my students wrapped up so tightly in their books that they cannot even believe they are reading! This book brings them so much enjoyment and they find themselves in a world of their own. Most importantly, they see themselves in the books they choose. They are inspired by the bravery of the characters that represent them.
