Celebrating 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 students are sophomores and juniors from Redwood City, East Palo Alto, and San Carlos. Most of them have parents who are immigrants, or they are immigrants themselves, and many of them are on free or reduced lunch.
They will be learning US history and Modern European history in my class.
I think it is important for them to have a classroom that is engaging and welcoming. Given the current political context, it is crucial for students to feel safe.
My Project
I want to create a space where students feel safe and welcomed. In my classroom, I want to have art and posters about history, liberation, racial justice, immigration, literature, gender, and ability for my high school history classroom next year.
I will purchase books in history, fiction, sociology, young adult, political science, and ethnic studies to start a classroom library that reflects my students.
This will be my first year teaching, so I do not have materials from previous years or funds to start a classroom library. At the end of the year, students will be producing an original research paper, and these books will be essential for completing their research.
