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

I teach in a Title 1 school where we have a diverse population. Many are newcomers to the country. I want my students to be able to appreciate not only their culture, but also the cultures of their classmates.

I would love to give them goodie bags filled with treats (like traditional Mexican candy and other snacks) to hand out after we discuss and reflect on the many traditions that encompass Mexican culture.

It's wonderful to see students excited to learn about a different culture. Seeing bonds that are created between my newcomers and my other students is a great thing to behold. I enjoy building that classroom community.
