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

We are a very diverse classroom where we speak four different languages. I have multiple new comer students who have migrated to the US during the past year alone, with many others having migrated over the past four years. We are a unique classroom where not everyone speaks the same language.

I have dreams to educate these kids on all cultures and to be as inclusive as I possibly can as a teacher.

This project will give me art and literacy tools needed to promote a fondness for reading about different cultures around the world, but also materials to bring fabulous art to my 4th graders who have not had much art exposure.

This project includes resources through books that share cultures and celebrations from around the world. Through learning about different cultures students will use materials to enhance their literacy writing skills, following up with various art projects throughout the remainder of the year. One important project students will be making are facial plaster masks to represent cultures learned in the books requested, this will be their final result after researching and writing about the learned culture.

We are a high needs school where my students come from very low socioeconomic backgrounds, I really strive to bring the best experiences into the classroom and give these students opportunities they have not yet been exposed to. Our school does not have an art teacher, and so everything I am able to bring into the classroom for extra enrichment is an added bonus but I need the community's help to make this happen.
