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

I work as a first grade ICT (Integrative Collaborative Team) teacher in Bushwick, Brooklyn. My students are a mixture of both special education and general education students. Most of my students are of Latino descent and are English Language Learners. My children do not have it easy. Many of my students’ parents do not speak English, some come from foster homes, and some live in shelters. Many of them do not know when or where their next meal is coming from. Yet these children come to school every single day with smiles on their faces, ready and willing to learn. My students have so much potential to excel in school and beyond, but they do not have the proper tools and materials in order to do so.

My Project

Our world is diverse! Students need to learn about different holidays that are celebrated throughout the year by different cultures around the world. I would like to have books about the holidays celebrated around the world in our classroom library in order to keep our kids learning.

These books would be read aloud to my students.

They will be able to not only learn about holidays, but also discuss their importance and help them learn about the different cultures around the world.

These read-aloud books will be used both in the classroom and when teaching remotely throughout many years to come.
