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

Our 5th and 6th graders are enthusiastic diverse learners who attend a Chicago Public School located in the Logan Square area. I teach at an inner city school where 90% of our students are Hispanic and 85% of our population falls into the low income category.

Despite some of the challenges in our community students are learning to develop resilience with a positive growth mindset.

Our student body is comprised of amazing students who strive to be global citizens in their local community.

My Project

Middle schoolers begin to be more aware of what's happening in the world and how that affects them. That is why we must teach the skill of empathy to our students. Empathy is a skill that strengthens with practice and encourages people to give and receive it often.

Kindness can become its own motive.

We are made kind by being kind. It is a continuous refining process. Wonder gives us a perfect opportunity to engage the child holistically. This is a story that can inspire our students and to give them the courage to take on others' perspectives. As well as increase their social emotional wellness.

Who are you inspired to be? We hope our students have the sense of wonder and aspire to be kind and empathetic individuals, who will then embody and advocate kindness and empathy wherever they go.

Our 5th and 6th graders need a copy of the novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio to begin to study the internal and external conflict within the characters and to analyze particular events to create connections between themselves and the world. The culminating activity gives our students a chance to create a social change campaign on how we all can spread kindness and empathy within the walls of our school and the community.
