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

Middle school is a challenging time, and I want to ensure that my kiddos learn not only how to read and write, but to think and listen critically . My students come from a low-income community where having the skills to succeed can mean the difference between improving their life situation or staying stagnant. I have AMAZING kids who have dealt with various amounts of trauma in their lives, but they are RESILIENT and they strive to better themselves. I want to help them do that.

My Project

My students are required to not only comprehend what they read, but to also comprehend what they hear. One of the best ways to accomplish this while also keeping their interest at a high level is to expose them to topics that are relevant and appealing. A subscription to Listenwise would allow me to bring current events, authentic voices and engaging non-fiction stories to all my students.

Empowering children to think for themselves by improving their ability to understand and make sense of all the voices that surround them is one of the most important skills we can teach our youth.

My goal as their teacher, and one member of their "village", is to ensure that my students can do this. I would have the ability to create lessons that are not only standards-aligned such as interactive note-taking, but I would also include activities that are personalized for each student such as helping my kids identify their listening style.
