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

I work with 6th-grade students in a Gifted, Arts, and Technology magnet in Los Angeles. My students are risk-takers who enjoy exploring new perspectives to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and society. My students are culturally and ethnically diverse learners from different socioeconomic backgrounds. We are a Title I school located in an urban setting.

The items in this project will enhance the class, creating a student-centered environment that is cozy and inviting.

I teach English and Digital Art. My students and I have a beautiful new classroom that provides the perfect space to create a reading corner! The bean bag chairs will provide flexible seating options during reading time, book club discussions, and group work; students will relax and feel at ease whilst partaking in the learning process. The ambient floor lamps will help our reading corner by creating a calming atmosphere. And in Digital Art, these items will continue to be used to create a welcoming environment as students work on editing their images using Photoshop.

Our class currently has a black loveseat and a large rug. With your help, we will be able to finalize our vision: A student-centered space that promotes focus and concentration whilst supporting diverse learning needs!
