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

I'm proud to say that I work at the school that I attended as a child. It is a high poverty, Title I school in New York. All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

My students are faced with many challenges inside and outside the classroom.

They struggle personally and academically and have diverse needs. My class consists of general education students and children who receive special education services. Students living in homeless shelters travel from other parts of the city to our school every day. Families that are new to the country (English new language learners) have the added burden of learning to communicate in English.

Despite the challenges they face daily, my students are filled with energy, are happy, and are motivated to learn. They are scientists, singers, mathematicians, leaders, comedians, readers, writers, teachers, dancers, me, and you; they are everything!

My goal is to make my students' school environment comfortable and their learning experiences, creative and challenging to prepare them for the future. I want my students to feel safe from the outside world, so they can focus on learning and simply being kids.

My Project

My class includes ESL students and children with a variety of disabilities. The magazines are accessible to al students; they can read or listen to the articles while words are highlighted.

Including Scholastic News and Science Spin magazines in our classroom will give my students the chance to see people of all backgrounds highlighted in areas of science.

Both magazines do an awesome job representing everyone including minorities and women.

It's very important that students see people who look like themselves in text and in different learning and working spaces so they can imagine themselves there; If they know it's possible, then maybe we'll see more diverse scientists in the near future.
