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 Project

Our Title I PreK - 8th grade school building is huge and lacks many resources. We have over 1,000 students and all receive free breakfast and lunch. Most come from Latin America and attend monolingual and bilingual classes. The students in my class come to school wanting to learn and work hard because school is a safe place for them to be.

My students shine every day and I am so lucky to be their Reading teacher!

Emily Style once stated that “education needs to enable the student to look through window frames in order to see the realities of others and into mirrors in order to see her/his own reality reflected”.

The main characters in Freak the Mighty provide strong windows and mirrors for middle school kids to connect to. The book features two unexpected heroes who prove that courage comes in all sizes. Through this, students can see that they too can be heroes of their own stories.

Thank you for reading about my students and considering my project. Everyone can use a helping hand and we appreciate all the help we can get!
