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 Project
This project is inspired by the Lunar New Year holiday, celebrated in China and other Asian countries! The objective is to teach and expose my students to this popular holiday and others, outside of what they already know. My classroom is very diverse, with student roots representing various countries. For this reason, I have students who may (or may not) celebrate Christmas in different ways. I realized the importance of acknowledging and exposing them to how holidays are celebrated around our world.
I want to honor the beautiful diversity in our classroom and world by teaching my students about different cultures, holidays and customs.
The selected items would be great resources for the students to read and enjoy. Hopefully, they'll understand that various cultures add delicious foods, vocabulary, customs, and vibrant color to an otherwise black and white world. I want students to know that people are very different, but simultaneously - the same.
With this project for books and other materials, the hope is that my students will learn to celebrate their own individual and unique differences, while also appreciating the differences they see in others too.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
