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 an enthusiastic, imaginative group of fourth graders. They are living in an inner-city community. Many are living in shelters. Some are English Language Learners and others have an Individualized Educational Plan. There are many students who have repeated a grade. Most face challenges both inside and outside of school on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, they love learning. They work hard every day in school and at home. They work with classmates to problem solve. They have goals and are working hard to achieve them.

My Project

My students recently have become very interested in the holocaust. We read "The Butterfly" by Patricia Polacco and they were so deeply moved by this disturbing story. They were inspired by those heroes involved in the French resistance that were celebrated in this book.

Most of my students had never heard of the holocaust before listening to this narrative.

They could not believe something this terrible had happened. They were shocked and upset but want to know more. These books will allow them to read about the holocaust. This is something that we need to educate our young people about.
