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
Help Our Students Stitch History with a Brother Sewing machine! My fourth and fifth grade combo class are creating Civil Rights Quilts-"Quilts of Courage" to honor African Americans, Afro-Latinos, and Hispanics who made a difference in the Civil Rights Movement.
Students will research the changemaker and create a lap-size quilt representing their legacy.
They will give a three-four minute speech about their person and talking about the impact they made in our lives today and why they chose to design their quilt the way they did. The quilts will be hung around the school with a small index card talking about the person being celebrated.
I believe these quilts will remind us to stay strong and to unite with one another during this time of uncertainty in our country.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
