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
I love my students and the diversity, energy, and stories they fill my classroom with. My school serves a community that is 73% Free and Reduced lunch, and 83% student of color. The majority of my students are first and second generation students who come from LatinX communities. What I love most about my students is the opportunity for learning they bring to the table--they truly are thirsty for language.
My students respond to a teacher who gives them feedback, listens, and greets them with a little joy each morning.
Many of them have huge life obstacles often to do with poverty, and Covid-19 seemed to exaggerate many of these issues. However, despite their circumstance, they still come to class ready to engage in the learning process.
My Project
Due to Covid-19, many students were stuck at home; detached from friends and learning; and often forced to work, babysit, and help manage a household. These changes were on top of many of the traumas my students come to school with each day. We as educators have been diligently working to provide spaces of wellness for students, and in the ELA classroom, I would like those spaces to be journals.
I plan to use these journals to help students reflect on their lives, trauma, and to help build SEL space in the classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
