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

Times are difficult for everyone right now, especially students living in communities such as Boyle Heights a working-class community in East Los Angeles. Students are confronting social emotional challenges while meeting the high demands of an education focused on testing. Despite this my students are resilient, hopeful, and hard working. They thrive when the learning connects to their lives and extends beyond the classroom. My students want education to make sense and give them tangible tools to help them in life.

My Project

Students in my class use history as a way to understand the current state of the country. This year students will conduct research on different disenfranchised groups and develop a solution to the problems that confront these groups. These books will extend learning beyond the school walls as students explore race in the United States and understand the injustices rooted in policies that negatively impact BIPOC today.

To support the student-led Project-based Learning (PBL) and literacy development students will read the book in class and at home, analyze current issues, and engage in academic discourse.

As part of the project, students will be part of a reading club to help process race and injustice in the United States as well as develop a project that will address a community problem.

The goal for the project is for students to identify a problem in their community, collaborate with their peers to develop a tangible solution, and critically think about the impact of their action on the community.
