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 a high school serving students in grades 9-12. We are in an urban neighborhood. Many of our students immigrated from another country or are the children of immigrants. Many of my students will be the first in their families to graduate from high school.

My students are college-bound, highly motivated, hardworking and dream of success.

They are awesome! Most are from lower socioeconomic status but have the endurance to make it to 12th grade, and most aim to go to college and get a degree. They dream of becoming everything from doctors to teachers to lawyers and entrepreneurs.

My Project

My students sit at their desks in my classroom for five hours a week. While most of that time is spent working, writing, reading, and brainstorming, I'm willing to bet that a lot of that time is spent staring at the walls. And my walls are, sadly, not that interesting.

Help me make even the walls of my classroom a learning experience.

I've chosen some pictures and quotations that are sure to get young minds thinking. Putting successful people such as Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Mother Theresa on the wall can be highly inspirational. I also found a poster that says "Si Se Puede" to let my students know I believe in them.

To round out the project, I've requested some figurative language posters to help with vocabulary development. I'm also asking for blank posters so students can make their own posters, as well as lined paper to start the assignments they need to complete.

I'm hoping to enrich my students' educational careers with these posters. If we are what we eat, then we are what we see. I want to build more successful young people so hopefully in my classroom, what you see affects what you get!
