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

The students in my classroom are truly unlike anyone I have met or taught before. Each of them are unique with differences that make them exceptional. Together, as a class, they are rich with culture and diversity. The students have taught me as an educator the importance of perseverance.

My Project

The background knowledge that the students have inside and out of the classroom is the foundation of all learning. Linking the students' personal life experiences to the content can help them find meaning in learning, provide clarity, and promote retention of the learning. Relating content to students personal lives and experiences also serves the purpose of validating students lives, culture and experiences but before incorporating their story, I need help supporting their classroom environment.

The materials will allow the students to have their basic classroom necessities met, such as flexible seating and pencils.

Statistically, math isn't favored and or performs lower than other contents. Additional materials from my list will create a classroom that is engaging and supports their learning.
