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

I want my students to engage more in the Spanish classroom by making this unit more accessible and relevant to their personal lives. The basic supplies like personal books, stickers, and glue will allow students to engage with the material and comprehension of their Spanish poetry unit no matter what level or style of learner they are. They will be creating their own personal poetry books that they get to keep and have as their end-of-the-year accomplishments! It is a portfolio of their personal achievements in their native language!

It is my goal to foster a classroom community that teaches students the importance of understanding, respecting, and working with diverse groups of people.

It is imperative for our students to make their experience in our classrooms relatable to their own lives and help them make connections to foster more open and caring environments that are different from those within our city limits. By having all these resources, I believe my students can gain the first steps towards engaging in real-world learning.

Grades 9-12
