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

Hello! We are a small charter school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our school consists of about 300 students. I teach Spanish to the entire tenth grade class! They are wonderful students. I would describe them as artistic, proactive and very intelligent. They are filled with curiosity and creativity. It is fascinating to see them engaged and willing to work towards proficiency in Spanish. I can see that they value their opportunity to learn.

I often hear my students playing with language after a day's lesson.

I had a student send her friend a text in Spanish using our practiced vocabulary. She asked me to check it for her, because she wanted to sound like a pro! I was so happy. Learning a foreign language is about being able to tear down language barriers and bring our community closer together.

My Project

Learning to write in Spanish requires practice, practice, and more practice! I love to see my students write by hand, when learning to put together thoughts in Spanish. This avoids the urgency to try and simply copy off of a translator. I enjoy seeing them put together vocabulary, verbs, and adjectives, and come up with original and meaningful sentences.

Dry erase sheets, pockets, and markers will allow my students and myself an entirely new way of learning.

Though it's still writing, it is a new way of writing. A new way of working and interacting with language and with my students.
