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 currently teach in the South Bronx. We are a school that have many students who do not speak English. Some of our students speak Spanish and French. Imagine being in a place to learn and you are unable to communicate even a simple thought, ask for help or even to understand what others are saying to you. It can become very frustrating for them to learn. We want all students to love learning.

Being able to communicate with others is very difficult when you don't speak the language.

This is an added challenge for these students. These students feel left out and lost in a world where they cannot communicate. Having a pocket translator can help our students communicate with the teacher and classmates. It will allow them to feel like part of the classroom. They will be excited about coming to school to learn. Communication is the key!
