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 tenth grade English students in Maryland. A number of my students are title one, economically challenged, and have many odds stacked against them. What I saw last year is that they are willing to work against those barriers and fight to be successful. One of my students wrote a beautiful poem in which she explains the difficulties of growing up in Baltimore.

"No I can’t explain how hard it is.

You get use to it growing up a Baltimore kid... “One officer of the Brown case has been called innocent” the reporter says and its back to us, seeing what our reaction is, since the riots we’re seen as dangerous. “Sadly another child has died by committing suicide. Her peers were bullying her” which makes me wonder are the police going to kill us or are we going to kill each other."

My Project

My students often times get lethargic and crabby during the day. This isn't always a case of my students being "teenagers." A lot of the times my students are hungry. The worst part is that they won't eat the school lunch because the options available are limited, unhealthy, and their cafeteria is overcrowded.

Since most of my students have to take public transport, they end up missing breakfast.

They know to come to me when they need a snack or are hungry. I never want a student to feel like they have nowhere to turn when they are in need of food. I want snacks and food on hand to fuel their bellies so that they can fuel their minds. I need plastic containers to store the food from mice and roaches.

I never want to hear "I'm hungry" this year and not have anything to help.

This year I also plan to utilize the document camera and other resources to teach lessons about nutrition during my "Like Water For Chocolate" unit. I want to learn more about nutrition in order to help my students understand what they should be eating.
