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 students have only met me through a tiny window via Zoom. Through this tiny window, they they interact with their teacher and classmates and have poured light, love, empathy, and a willingness to learn and explore.

My goal is for my students is be lifelong learners.

Their curiosity and empathy has propelled them to be passionate about learning and kind to their classmates by listening and helping formulate solutions. The empathy my students display is evident in their temperament. Each one of them has grown up with a deaf sibling, and they have learned sign language in order to be the bridge between the hearing and the hearing impaired world.

My Project

Dr. Seuss once said: "The more that you read, the more you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go!"

From visiting the land of fairytales to the time of the American Revolution, my students will receive books to help them go to all these places through books.

Since my students come from low-income households, they do not have the resources to gain literacy in many subjects. Because we are learning virtually, students are losing interest in reading books. The books that I have chosen will help motivate students to read while helping them learn about things they are interested in.
