Celebrating 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 7th and 8th grade students are beyond amazing! They excel and exceed my very rigorous expectations. I am extremely proud of them and would like for them to celebrate the richness and diversity of the Spanish culture. My students all qualify for free and/or reduced meals.
My students attend a Title I school with a variety of cultural backgrounds, financial means, and many are first year language learners with minimal support at home.
They show me something new everyday. I love seeing them immerse themselves in everything from art to music, and history to even math in Spanish class!
This is one of only two electives that is given for high school credit and I have a responsibility to show them what the language is all about without having to limit their creativity because financially we cannot meet their needs. We would be able to flourish even more if given the opportunity and not be limited to the classroom.
My Project
Our chapters are broken up into different countries around the world and imbedded within each one is an array of cultures and cultural festivities and how they are celebrated around the world.
This year, I would like my students to learn how to make pinatas because not only are they used in festivities in almost every culture, it would also be a valuable skill to have just in case they decide to open up a business that would highlight this particular skill.
Sometimes, lack of funding makes for a lesson that although is educational, lacks that little extra spark to keep my students motivated and excited. This lesson would serve so many purposes: educational, cultural, would spark creativity, and in the end would utilize their presentational writing and speaking standard goals.
