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 students are amazing young teenagers! Most of these students reside in a poor, urban area that is grossly underfunded and, in some areas, lacking even the most basic of needs. Although many of them come from tough neighborhoods and lifestyles, they are resilient, smart, and full of life.

They are self-directed learners who yearn to know more about their past so they can change their future.

They are inquisitive, creative and thrive on learning new things. They have changed my world perhaps more than I have changed theirs. They will be the historians of the future; making their mark on society and changing the world for the better.

My Project

In order to combat this problem and teach my students good organization and note-taking skills to prepare them for college, I am requesting notebooks (one for each student). Students will use these composition notebooks to write their essays and revisions, for vocabulary study, and for classwork. In my experience, this helps reach all learners and ensures that everyone has the chance to succeed. Having a dedicated History notebook will not only help students become more organized, a skill that will be utilized throughout their lives, but will enable them to see themselves as scholars and take ownership of their work.

Organization is an important key to ensuring success in school and in life.
