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

When I look at my school population of students, the one thing I notice is how culturally diverse they are. I have students who come from Mexico, Africa, Asia, and Polynesian Islands. I work at a Title I school where 91% of the students qualify to receive free lunch.

Most of my students come from low-income homes where they experience many struggles daily and don't have individualized learning opportunities using technology to help them succeed!

I am very privileged that I get to teach Spanish classes to my amazing middle school students. Spanish was my first language so teaching my students how to speak, read, and write Spanish is very important to me. For me to be complete this task correctly, I need access to specific materials to handout to my students to provide success. The pencils and red pencils are to be used to write and to identify punctuation marks and accents. Highlighters are for differentiating parts of speech.

Thank you for your consideration in supporting my project.
