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

My 10th grade English students are unique individuals that come from diverse backgrounds. As a low-income, high-poverty urban school, my students arrive at our school from diverse backgrounds and circumstances. We have students who have come from approximately 30 different countries and speak at least 23 separate languages. They bring their own personalities, histories, and interests to help make our classroom community an energetic place. While my students face multitudes of hardships, their resiliency is inspiring and motivates me to work hard for them. Whether through more materials, unique learning experiences, or simple supports, my goal is to do whatever I can to support them.

What makes these students so amazing is their positive attitudes, motivation to improve, and the ability to use their differences as ways to teach each other.

Every year we work together towards the group and individual goals to develop ourselves as better readers, writers, students, and humans. On paper, my job as their teacher is to provide them with the literacy skills they need to be successful in our world, but I find that it grows into so much more through our journey together.

My Project

As the second marking period closes, and a new Covid variant is strong, we are trying to find a way to celebrate our students with the new restrictions. One of the ways we are tackling this is having a virtual assembly and raffling off larger prizes to our students that were on track, had honor roll, or were chosen by a teacher to be their Student of the Marking Period!

Despite challenges, students deserve to celebrate their success!

We are determined to make sure that our students feel loved and appreciated this winter. We will be making a video to accompany these prizes to make sure they are acknowledge with both words and some fun swag. All of these materials will go to students who achieved any recognition last marking period and they will be able to use them throughout the day at school.
