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 12- and 13-year-olds are bright and eager young people from mostly immigrant and lower income households. Due to their background, they don't always feel comfortable identifying as American, despite the fact that the majority were born or raised here for most of their lives.

Many of my students struggle to find relevance in learning US history because they haven't seen their lives mirrored in traditional texts.

I see it as my duty to help them make connections to find relevance by providing a diverse set of resources for them to choose from and explore.

My Project

My goal is for students to express their knowledge in a variety of creative ways. I am hoping to have students do more group work when it is safe to do so, and create posters that they can present to the class.

Not only is expressing knowledge through art an effective way for many students to process and exchange information, it is also great for their mental and emotional health.

Students get meditative as they work with their hands and visualize their knowledge.

I am also emphatic that we maintain safe practices in masking and sanitation. As of now, we do not have access to proper masks for all, so I want to have effective filtration masks on hand for anyone who needs it.
