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

Imagine a classroom where every student feels energized and comfortable, ready to dive into the fascinating world of World History. That's our vision for 9th Grade World History at our High School. We are a diverse group of enthusiastic learners eager to explore the past, from the Enlightenment's revolutionary ideas to the complex aftermath of the French Revolution and beyond.

However, sometimes the simple necessities can become significant barriers to learning.

Many of our students come to class without adequate nutrition, making it difficult to concentrate and engage fully in discussions and activities. Additionally, our current seating options are limited and often uncomfortable, hindering focus and making long periods of learning a physical challenge.
