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

My students are great mathematicians, scientists, writers, explorers, artists, etc. They are in a Spanish and English dual language program and for the most part, all students have been in this program since they were in preschool. Being in such a program poses challenges to them. My students are well aware that being fluent and bi-literate in this country will open doors to better opportunities in their careers and in their futures.

I want to expose my students to learn about different cultures and traditions, and learning about Lunar New Year is such an amazing way to get them engaged and aware of a culture other than theirs.

The books and items listed in this project will help my students understand, compare and contrast, and spark their curiosity about other cultures both in English and Spanish.
