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 school is located in the Bay Area in California (East of San Francisco) in an area heavily impacted with immigration and Socially Disadvantage Students. I have a wonderful group of Kindergartners this year in my DLI class (Dual Language Immersion) that have no previous experience in schooling.

My 25 students constitute a very lively and talkative group who are eager to learn.

They love to learn from each other through games and pair activities. They compensate for their lack of academic experience with enthusiasm and curiosity.

My students are very visual as it would be expected from a 21st Century child and their attention always detour to hands-on colorful print.

My Project

We will develop a Social Studies project in my Kindergarten class consisting of drawing our neighborhood. Each student will draw the buildings and the people that are usually there. They will start with their house and the houses on both sides. Then they will incorporate at least two more locations: one entertaining (e.g. a park or a movie theater) and another where services are received (e.g. hospital, church, school, bank, etc.).We will put the emphasis on the people and how with our differences we are part of the same place. That is where the multicultural crayons will be a great resource for. The last picture will be one of their family. Once their projects are completed, we will laminate them for a lasting effect.

My students will learn that although we come in many different colors, we like, do and want the same things.Our houses are similar, we all go to the same school, most of us buy at the same store, have fun at the same parks, and end up having the flu shots at the same place!

The multicultural crayons will make the skin shades easier to depict and the laminating will transform it into a treasure.
