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 teach to a group of 35 Fifth Grade students in a lower-income part of East San Diego County. My students are resilient and face every challenge they meet head on. They are positive role models who want to make changes in the world for the better.

This year, we are working on bringing the fun back into learning.

I want my students to explore the content in new and exciting ways. They need to be able to interact with hands-on activities and have the content embedded into real-life contexts. This will help foster relationships and establish a positive classroom atmosphere.

My Project

Arts are often forgotten in the classroom with the level of rigor and amount of information we are asked to cover throughout the school year. By integrating art into topics like Math, Science, and Social Studies, students can be hands on and demonstrate their learning in creative, engaging ways.

Every year, we hold an art show, and these requested supplies, such as tissue paper, scissors, and watercolors, are used to create dynamic art that impresses all our visitors and parents.

As part of our enriching school experience, students work collaboratively to compete with their "houses" to win rewards where they get to create tokens that hang in my classroom and take home to keep at the end of the year.
