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

I am a first-year teacher starting my career in the midst of a pandemic. My students are incoming freshmen who are starting a new chapter of their lives and of their academic career also in the midst of a pandemic. They are navigating a new educational environment and growing into young adults all at the same time. This school year will not be easy by any means but it is my goal to set my students up to succeed as best as I can.

My students come from mainly low-income households and include diverse learners.

The school serves a majority Latinx population but other racial demographics include Black, White, and Asian. Our school is a neighborhood school located in an urban environment and we offer plenty of programs to serve the interests of our students like the IB certification program, JROTC, career and technical education, performing and visual arts, and much more.

My Project

These are some basic materials that I would like to provide my students while we navigate remote learning together. Not every family may have the ability to provide their student with the internet capacity that is needed to run various platforms at a time.

The basics—pencils and paper—will allow students to do the work that is asked of them like daily journals and note-taking.

The sticky notes will be useful for students to write and reminders that they may need while trying to stay organized at home. Sticky notes can also be used for note-taking and to help students distinguish sections of their notebooks like journal section vs. notes section.
