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

I am an English, Special Education, and Adult TESOL teacher currently teaching 10th Grade ELA and AP African American Studies. My 10th, 11th, and 12th graders are college-bound inner-city youth from the South Bronx. They love their school and their community. They are social justice warriors in the making and are starting to recognize their academic & socio-emotional needs and the importance of advocacy for themselves and others.

Writing is a crucial part of literacy.

Having the basic classroom supplies to make sure students can engage in writing equitably is important to ensuring student success. As our country struggles to reach reading and writing benchmarks, I want to make sure writing and reading is a daily part of my students instruction. Having the tools readily available is important to making this happen.
