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

What I love about my students is their willingness to learn. My students face the challenges of the Pandemic like true heroes. They were asked to embark on a new journey of learning remotely. They came back to the classroom lacking skills needed to achieve success and face those challenges head on. I am left amazed by their strength and resilience. I took a course on designing lessons that were culturally responsive and walked away determined, and driven to ensure that I was meeting the needs of all my students. I wanted to make sure I was engaging my students with learning pursuits, rather than standards.

These materials will allow me to meet their learning needs with the five pursuits as the foundation of my lessons.

Identity – teaching students to know themselves and others; Skills – teaching students the proficiencies needed across content areas; Intellectualism – teaching students new knowledge; Criticality – teaching students to understand and disrupt oppression; and Joy – teaching students about the beauty and truth in humanity. Bringing Joy into learning and being the best version of themselves is my hope for my students. The Diversity Inclusion Hardcover Library will allow my students to see themselves in the books they read. The Diversity Inclusion Daily Practice Journal will give my students a place to write down their thoughts and feelings

The Phonics Daily Activity materials will help students to improve their reading abilities.
