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

My students come from diverse backgrounds and immerse themselves daily in the cultures of their peers through learning two languages (English and Spanish).

Our students strive for academic excellence in both languages in all academic subjects which makes them very unique.

Each child brings something special to the classroom through their experiences and areas of expertise. They make our school an exceptional place to be through their determination to be successful academically while embracing the many cultures that come together within our walls.

My Project

In our school, we come from all walks of life which means we have diverse cultures, religions, races, ethnicities, and more. As a school community and especially in our classroom, providing opportunities to read texts which reflect our student population and the families in our community is essential.

Students deserve an education that is culturally relevant and where they can see characters like themselves reflected in their reading.

When students can relate to characters and text, it allows for stronger comprehension, more engagement, and excitement in learning. This book SI! Somos Latinos is one that students will be reading in English and Spanish. The short prose are relatable to students from the same backgrounds and upbringings. Additionally, the book includes great history passages which helps students understand historical events and people from various countries. This text is great to help students expand their historical knowledge as well as culturally competency. Lastly, it is a great book to use to learn about identifying theme within a text and pride in ones identity. We are so excited to read this book as a class.
