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
Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.
My Project
I will collaborate with the English Language Arts teacher on a project in which students will read and study the book called Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr. The book is about the aftermath of the dropping of the atomic bomb in Japan during World War II. Sadako tried to make 1000 paper cranes to promote peace and healthy but made it to 644 before she died of radiation sickness. Her classmates finished the reset for her. Now students around the world participate in reading Sadako's story and making cranes to promote peace.
Students will participate in this global movement while learning about peace initiatives by making 1000 paper cranes.
Books and origami paper are needed for this project.
