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 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

Each year my students have annotation kits they use in our class. They use various Post-it notes, pencils, highlighters, and erasers to interact with our texts and make learning more interactive. However, as more students leave my classroom for the next grade, the materials need to be replenished.

These materials allow us to interact with our learning and make our reading personalized!

They allow my students to make their own notes to show their learning, and practice skills. When we meet to have individualized conferences, students are able to show me the notes that they've taken and how they are progressing with their skills. These materials are instrumental to our classroom's daily routine!
