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 little ones are talented, intelligent, curious, creative, witty and clever but they have been diagnosed with autism, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, and ADD. While, some are motivated to thrive and succeed, others need someone to lift their self-confidence so that they can start to dream of success. I teach in a classroom where you hear "I can't" more than "I can". Our school serves children who come from low socioeconomic households where many parents have not completed high school. In our school, 99% of our students receive free lunch and some are in shelters.

The labels these little ones carry can sometimes become their identity and hinders their ability to dream big.

So, I dare them to dream of world filled with infinite possibilities by creating projects that require multiple intelligences. It is through these projects that I can see a smile of confidence because they have uncovered a talent they never knew existed and that smile of wonder is my aim. It is as if they been awakened and the labels are beginning to peel off their drooping faces so that the talent that was once hidden has now been revealed!

My Project

This project will help my students reflect on their mindset about learning and success. All too often, students avoid struggles in learning because they feel like they shouldn't make mistakes and they equate struggles with failure. This avoidance is causing the achievement gap to grow. Children need to take ownership of their learning by becoming reflective learners who can create goals from their mistakes and who strive for success despite their failures. Our world needs citizens who can persevere, accept feedback and reflect. These journals will be the stepping stone towards a change that will shout out that we are successful when we fail and reflect on that failure to rise, soar, and succeed.
