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 Project

Welcome to Building Connections Through World History, an initiative project designed to foster community, academic success, and gain deeper understanding of our shared past among ninth-grade students. By supporting this project, you're not only investing in history education but also in building relationships, empowering students to thrive in high school, and cultivating a passion for history.

Your donation will positively impact my students.

Your contribution will provide resources to set up collaborative workstations in the classroom. These stations will facilitate group discussions, cooperative learning activities, and peer-to-peer tutoring sessions, enabling students to support each other academically and build strong bonds as they explore the complexities of world history together.

I plan to create individual supply kits with scissors, markers, colored pencils and more for students. Students will receive a success kit tailored to support their academic journey. These kits may include organizational tools, study guides, goal-setting journals, and motivational resources to help students stay focused, manage their time effectively, and develop essential study skills for success in high school and beyond.

Since strong relationships are built through shared experiences, your support will enable us to organize community-building activities such as historical movie nights, cultural celebrations, and collaborative projects that promote teamwork, communication, and mutual respect among students. These activities will create a positive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and supported.

Together, we can empower my ninth-grade students to build meaningful connections with their peers, achieve academic success, and develop a deeper appreciation for our shared history. Thank you for investing in the future of our students and helping to create a supportive and enriching learning environment.
