The final project of our first semester of 7th grade Geography is the brainchild of my students. Throughout the course of the semester, we have talked about our backgrounds and what makes each of our experiences unique and our perspectives important. An experience that unites a lot of my students and our community members is that of migration — nearly 50 percent of our students are of Latinx descent, and we have a growing population of Southeast Asian students. I am also a first-generation immigrant myself. As a result, culture and movement are big themes in our classroom. Because of our conversations, a group of my students asked if there was a way we could learn about each other's experiences as immigrants; I thought it was a brilliant idea. Although it's not part of the Oklahoma state standards, my class will dedicate 2 weeks to a project that will start out with reading Reyna Grande's "The Distance Between Us" — funded by this page — and will end with students engaging with and interviewing community members about their experiences as immigrants. My hope is that this project will not only bring new voices to our Geography curriculum, but will also cultivate pride in my students' immigrant identities.
