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 second grade dual language students have discovered that reading is a way of exploring the world and meeting people of the past and present. In order to continue their new found passion for reading and learning, my students need a more comprehensive class library filled with biographies of real people (past and present), just like them, that made an impact in their communities and the world we live in. The biographies that I have selected represent a diverse community from around the world that will open discussions about multiculturalism, workers' rights, equality and contributions to our world through literature, visual arts, and the performing arts. Along with the books, the posters and art supplies will reinforce their learning through a hands-on approach.

Our "Noche de Museo/Night at the Museum" will allow my students to study in depth an influential person of their choice from the books and materials we hope to acquire.

My students will independently write a summary, create a time line, and display the life of this important person in a trifold board. They will study where this person came from using a globe to visualize the differences in countries and cultures. My students will also have the opportunity to create a visual representation of their historical figure through painting, drawing, or sculpting. Their learning will come to live as they present their final product to their peers, parents, and the community at our Noche de Museo/Night at the Museum.

My students' love for learning and their aspirations to use their unique bilingualism to positively impact their community makes them special. This project will allow them to further develop and showcase who they are and who they aspire to be.
