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

My students are a diverse group of children who are inquisitive, passionate about learning, and motivated to succeed. They come to school every day excited about learning. They are also very proud of their accomplishments.

I teach in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in San Diego.

One hundred percent of my students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of my students are English language learners. However, they make great progress every year. Every spring, my school has a heart-warming celebration to honor those children who have become fluent English speakers. Parents decorate the auditorium, students give moving speeches, prominent people of San Diego say some motivating words, and there is never a dry eye in the audience.

My Project

Students learn about the state of California in fourth grade. We have some amazing national parks here. I would like my students to learn not only about the great features of each of these places, but the history of them as well. Students will learn how private citizens and government worked together to create these national treasures.

This school year, while my students were doing a research project, they noticed that many of the books in my classroom library are more than 20 years old.

I would like to refresh my library, so my students are reading more current information. These books are not only jammed packed with interesting facts, but have beautiful illustrations as well.
